Dear friends,
It’s been three years since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and talk of a truce must not overshadow the truth: the conflict continues to pose an alarming threat to press freedom. Indeed, since the war started, nearly 150 journalists have been the victims of Russian atrocities : 13 of them have been killed and at least 47 have been injured by Russian forces in Ukraine.
In the past three years, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has supported more than 1,900 journalists and 270 media outlets in Ukraine, notably through its Press Freedom Centres in Kyiv and Lviv. RSF Press Freedom Centres are set up during major crises to provide journalists and media outlets with the equipment, assistance and resources they need to continue informing the public as safely as possible (such as providing protective equipment, physical safety training and psychological support).
