„The situation with journalism in Ukraine is absolutely heartbreaking — not because of civil society or the media itself. In fact, Ukrainians strongly support their local media, as can be seen in statistics and in the general public mood. However, Ukrainian journalists remain in great danger. Today, I want to mention one important name: Ukrainian journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna, who was murdered while in Russian captivity. Her body was returned to Ukraine — without her eyes, without her heart. We still don’t know what exactly happened to her“, pointed Olha Danyliuk, journalist, Volyna Gazetta, Ukraine at the Westminster Alliance for Ukraine Event.
„What’s also troubling is that even Russian liberal media are now suppressing Ukrainian voices, while amplifying their own. I don’t think that’s fair. We need to hear more from Ukrainians — especially those who are suffering the most from this war“, said Danyliuk.
