Event Coverage Highlight
Kyiv Independent: Stories from Democracy’s Front Line
Join Kyiv Independent for an evening of live storytelling that brings reporting off the page and into the room. Kyiv Independent journalists will share first-hand accounts from their work on the ground — from front-line cities and court proceedings to long-form investigations and deeply reported features. Guests will hear directly from the reporters and editors behind the headlines, and from the people whose lives shape their coverage: survivors, investigators, and ordinary Ukrainians confronting extraordinary circumstances.
This program offers a rare look at the human side of war reporting — stories not only of conflict, but of resilience, defiance, and community.
Proceeds from this event support the Kyiv Independent’s War Crimes Investigations Unit.
About the War Crimes Investigations Unit
The Kyiv Independent’s War Crimes Investigations Unit documents and investigates war crimes and Russian atrocities in Ukraine. Led by experienced investigative journalists, the unit produces in-depth reporting and documentary work that examines crimes committed during Russia’s ongoing invasion.
According to the Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine, Russian forces have allegedly committed more than 80,000 war crimes since the start of the full-scale invasion. The unit’s mission is to uncover these crimes, center survivors’ voices, and shed light on the human impact behind each case. Their investigations support efforts to seek justice, assist law enforcement in gathering evidence, and help the international community understand the scale and severity of Russia’s actions in Ukraine.
