Reporting Stories of War in the Face of Loss: Interview with the Editor-in-Chief of Ukrainska Pravda

Sevgil Musaieva , editor-in-chief of Ukrainska Pravda , tells GIJN that news from the frontline and about the war soon came to make up 90% of their work.

Many of her journalists needed persuading to leave, even to go to the west of Ukraine as a safety measure and to ensure that, as a publication, they could keep operating.

Editor: "I have this moral dilemma — even in me — this is an existential war for Ukraine ".

Ukrainska Pravda editor Victoria Musaieva tells GIJN that she dreamed about Roshchyna being released from prison.

She says they are still trying to find out what happened, but it's hard, we don’t have access to the territories, we still don't have her body back.

Editor says she is always weighing the security risks of her staff and freelancers who, in her words, are “always a target of Russian military forces”.
