**The Kyiv Independent Celebrates Three Years of Unbiased Reporting**
It’s been three years since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and one publication has been a constant source of reliable news. The Kyiv Independent was launched on November 11, 2021, by a group of young journalists who were fired for standing up to censorship.
**War Reporting: A Key Part of the Publication**
The Kyiv Independent has covered every major stage of the war in Ukraine, from the early days of Russia‘s invasion to the current battles in Donetsk Oblast. The publication was one of the first to call Russia’s actions a “war,” not a “special operation” as the Kremlin tried to frame it.
**Notable Investigations and War Crimes**
The Kyiv Independent has also produced several notable investigations, including a look into the International Legion and Sergey Korolev’s case, the Deputy Director of Russia’s FSB. The publication’s War Crimes Investigations Unit has documented over 130,000 war crimes in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion began.
**Human Stories: A Focus on Everyday Life**
The Kyiv Independent doesn’t just focus on war and politics; it also tells human stories from families to business owners living in a war zone. The publication won an award for its documentary about the Russian kidnapping of Ukrainian children, “Uprooted.”
**Politics, Interviews, and Freedom of Speech**
Despite the challenges brought by war, the Kyiv Independent remains committed to producing factual reports on domestic issues, including anti-corruption, attacks on freedoms of speech, political scandals, and government reshuffles.
**Awards and Recognition**
The Kyiv Independent has been recognized internationally for its coverage of Russia’s full-scale invasion in Ukraine. The publication is a must-read for anyone looking for unbiased reporting from the ground.
