Mission

Our objective

Kyiv Free Press is a media outlet which was created in order to promote democratic freedoms by uniting our international community of free thinkers and documenting unique perspectives related to Ukrainian culture, society, history, and security amid the most critical defense of humanity in modern times.

Philosophy & Vision

The most fundamental technology ever known to mankind is communication. Thus it is no surprise that a human right as innate as speech remains threatened in even the most developed nations, where time and time again, power often goes hand in hand with silence, censorship, and subjugation of the common voice.

We believe that in order for the world to advance and prosper, freedom of speech must be practiced in order to be kept free.

We aim to achieve this by contributing to the current media climate by giving voice to untold stories, connecting with others, seeking truth, and understanding each other.

Launched out of the heart of Kyiv, the world capitol of freedom during Ukraine’s critical fight for sovereignty, Kyiv Free Press is an independent journalism project, with zero strings attached to neither government nor special interest groups. We operate out of free will, on a 100% unpaid volunteer basis.

Kyiv Free Press is on the quest for diverse partnerships to join our documentary mission!
