Since the beginning of the Russian invasion on 24 February, Ukraine has become one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. There is evidence that the Russian army has been deliberately targeting journalists who are telling the truth about the war. At least eight media workers have been killed so far, countless more kidnapped, harassed and turned into refugees overnight. Nonetheless, the bravery and determination of Ukrainian reporters has no bounds and for this episode of Trouble with the Truth Lana spoke to four of them. You will hear from an independent journalist Olga Tokariuk, Roman Stepanovich- the founder of Zaborona Media, Vera Chernysh- CEO and co-founder of Creator Media Group and Sergei Tomilenko, the president of the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine.
What is happening to Ukrainian journalists in the territories occupied by Russian troops? What stories do they tell once they manage to escape? How do journalists manage to carry on their professional duty, while trying to survive and evacuate their loved ones? What can be done to preserve a free media and protect journalists in Ukraine? Find out in thia new episode of Trouble with the Truth.
