In particular, these projects provide financial assistance for the functioning of Ukrainian media, the safety of journalists, and the fight against disinformation, psychological media operations, manipulations, etc.
“Ukrainian society has shown incredible resilience. It quickly adapted to the new difficult conditions of full scale war and has become a partner of the government in defending the country,” EU Ambassador to Ukraine, Katarína Mathernová said. “Civil society and the free media have been important agents of change in Ukraine. The European Union has provided and will continue to provide them with comprehensive support.”
