This week, openDemocracy launched a public appeal to save the team behind our work on Russia and Ukraine. Now we can announce that provided we secure the funds we desperately need, we have a group of respected advisors, chaired by Dame Liz Forgan, to help steer the project’s development.
Our small international team producing our dedicated Ukrainian, Russian and Belarusian coverage is unique – and under threat.
It includes a Ukrainian correspondent who is on the ground covering the effects of Russia’s war and Ukraine’s resistance; Russian editors who bring incredible reporting and perspective from inside Russia and out; and Belarusian journalists and analysts who cover the confusing creep of Lukashenka’s integration with Russia in wartime.
