Russian invasion of Ukraine

Interesting piece on how Ukraine's journalists scaled back reporting to not hamper the war effort but now starting investigative journalism and having to tread a tightrope of providing scrutiny while not being anti-state

Example being military food contracts being rigged at high prices to skim high profits, which were dismissed and not addressed when highlighted to the military in the first instance

Sources in the presidential administration said Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, was furious, according to Ukrainska Pravda journalists. It prompted the dismissal of 15 senior government and regional officials, including two senior defence officials.

Anti-corruption measures are one of the requirements for Ukraine’s EU membership status and Zelenskiy was responding to disquiet in wider Ukrainian society over corruption at a time when most are regularly donating money to aid the war effort.
