Every healthy democracy has fearless journalists helping to hold leaders accountable to their citizens. One of the greatest forms of patriotism that only makes a country stronger.

Hats off to The Kyiv Independent and all Ukrainian journalists 🗞️🇺🇦

Some people fail to realize that we are not a PR agency, and our only job is to uncover the truth.

This week’s episode of #ThisWeekInUkraine is dedicated to the disappointing outcome of the trial against riot police officers who murdered unarmed protestors during Ukraine’s EuroMaidan revolution in 2014.

I’m taking a class on public history, collective memory, and genocides in 🇺🇦 history, taught by a Ukrainian professor abroad. I’m the only Ukrainian in the class, AND there is a girl from *Moscow*. I can’t even begin to describe this level of awkwardness (to say the least)
