The Kyiv Independent
The Kyiv Independent is an English-language news platform in Ukraine, founded by a group of journalists who were dismissed from the Kyiv Post for standing up for editorial freedom. The Kyiv Post, which served as Ukraine's global voice, ceased operations on November 8, 2021, just a few days after marking its 26th anniversary of continuous publication. The owner decided to close the publication in an attempt to gain complete control over the newsroom that had always prioritized editorial independence. However, the dedicated editorial team of the Kyiv Post was determined not to be muted. Instead of preserving the brand, they chose to uphold its core values.
