乌克兰主要英文新闻网站《乌克兰独立报》编辑奥尔加·鲁坚科近日表示，尽管读者期待看到俄罗斯遭受打击的报道，但该媒体必须拒绝成为宣传工具，转而平衡呈现乌克兰面临的军事和政治困境。1鲁坚科指出："我们的读者真的很想看到俄罗斯遭受打击，但这不应导致我们忽视基辅面临的军事和政治问题。"1
该报网站上充斥关于乌克兰对俄罗斯Wildberries仓库深度攻击的报道，但这些故事的受欢迎程度远超关于对乌克兰本土攻击的内容。1鲁坚科强调《乌克兰独立报》的核心使命是进行独立新闻报道而非乌克兰政府宣传。鲁坚科指出在泽连斯基政府下乌克兰媒体自由未见改善。1
《乌克兰独立报》于俄乌全面入侵前三个月成立，初期获得10万美元资金支持。1该媒体发展迅速，会员数从2025年初的14,000人增至36,000人，月均付款5美元，员工规模扩展至99人。12024年7月，该报曾发表社论标题为"泽连斯基刚刚背叛了乌克兰民主"，批评政府试图瓦解两个反腐机构。1泽连斯基自2025年2月以来未曾召开独立乌克兰媒体新闻发布会。1
The editor of Ukraine's leading English-language news outlet, the Kyiv Independent, has outlined the ethical tensions her organization faces in covering the ongoing conflict with Russia. Olga Rudenko stated that while readers strongly desire content showing Russian suffering, the publication must resist becoming a propaganda vehicle and instead maintain balanced coverage of Ukraine's military and political challenges 1. She emphasized that the outlet's core mission is independent journalism rather than serving as a mouthpiece for the Ukrainian government 1.
The Kyiv Independent was founded three months before Russia's full-scale invasion and initially received $100,000 in funding support 1. The publication has grown substantially, with membership expanding from 14,000 people at the beginning of 2025 to 36,000, with members paying an average of $5 monthly 1. The organization's staff has also expanded to 99 employees 1.
Rudenko's concerns about editorial independence reflect broader tensions between reader demand and journalistic standards. Stories about Ukrainian attacks on Russian targets, such as strikes on Wildberries warehouses, appear on the website but attract significantly less engagement than coverage of Russian attacks on Ukraine 1. Additionally, Rudenko noted that President Zelensky has not held a press conference with independent Ukrainian media since February 2025, raising questions about media access 1. The publication itself has previously challenged government actions, publishing an editorial in July 2024 titled "Zelensky just betrayed Ukrainian democracy," which criticized government efforts to dismantle two anti-corruption bodies 1.
