Ukrainska Pravda celebrates its 25th anniversary on 16 April.
Do you remember how it all began Back in 2000, Georgiy Gongadze and Olena Prytula founded Ukrainska Pravda as a response to the censorship that dominated the postSoviet media landscape in Ukraine.
It was the dawn of the internet.
In those early days, our website saw just 150200 visitors a day.
But Ukrainians were hungry for the truth and we began to grow.
On the first day of the fullscale war, 7.4 million people visited the Ukrainska Pravda website.
Today, nearly a million readers visit us every day Over the past 25 years, governments have changed, and dictators have come and gone but our mission has stayed the same to fight for freedom of speech.
Weve grown into a major media outlet with a large editorial team, dozens of projects across various platforms, and millions of readers.
The Orange Revolution, the Revolution of Dignity, the RussoUkrainian war, the fullscale invasion weve been with you through the defining moments of Ukraines modern history.
For 25 years, weve stood for the truth and upheld the same core values honesty, independence, critical thinking, democracy, and service to society and our readers.
Our journalists report from our Kyiv newsroom, from frontline villages, and from temporarily occupied cities.
Many of our colleagues have paused their journalism careers to join the army and defend Ukraine.
Together, were writing history and growing stronger thanks to you.
