“The real question is not whether someone applauds your work. The real question is whether tomorrow a journalist in Kharkiv will have a bulletproof vest, a drone detector, and a place to work.” 🇺🇦 nuju.org.ua/sometimes-leader… – at Paris, France

Russians have finally returned the body of Ukrainian journalist Victoria Roshchyna, who died in captivity. DNA testing has confirmed her identity. She was detained while reporting from occupied territories. We will remember her courage @efjeurope @IFJGlobal

In my comments to @VOANews, I emphasized how local newspapers have become vital information lifelines in areas where Russia has destroyed communications infrastructure. Local journalism matters, especially during war voanews.com/a/us-aid-freeze-…

I am glad to meet you dear William and to have an important conversation about the security of journalists in Ukraine. We must join forces to help brave freelancers in Ukraine @nsju_org @rorypecktrust
Great to meet @Stommedia earlier today and hear about the important work of @nsju_org. Its ingenuity & generosity in establishing media hubs across #Ukraine become a lifeline for freelancers - providing access to both equipment & advice. #protectjournalists
