Top 10 Ukrainian news websites in English

Many people want to know news from Ukraine.Unfortunately, it happens that they usually browse Russian news websites,not Ukrainian. Let's figure out why it's vital to read news on Ukrainian,not Russian web pages.
So,guys,I'm going to open a secret: Russian media lies. Yes,they do it with brazenly and shamelessly every single day. So if you want to find out truth, only the truth and nothing but the truth(especially if it is news from Ukraine), here is the top 10 of english-speaking websites and media:

  1. Hromadske International  

        
                                                                                                                         
Hromadske is a vibrant start-up, founded by a unique team of Ukrainian and foreign journalists. Hromadske survives from the money of the Ukrainians. Everyone can donate and help them. There are multiple videos that explain what is really happening in Ukraine and also different people speaking about Ukraine(and not only) live. I strongly recommend this internet channel ;)

  1. Censor.net  


Censor.net can be read in russian as "no censorship". It was created in 2004. The editorial office wasn't afraid to critisize the regime of Yanuckovich. Of course, it hated journalists of Censor.net. During Euromaidan on the 9th of December 2013 editorial's office was usurped by special forces of the Ministry of special forces. 4 file servers with all amount of information were stolen. Censor.net was one of leading information resource that was writing about Euromaidan. At the moment it is one of the leading internet media that tells about the war between Russia and Ukraine (and not only) in details.

  1. Hromadske Radio
Hromadske Radio (from ukrainian - Public Radio) also survives from donations. It’s also an independent radio broadcaster. They work as a web-radio and focus on a 24 hour a day broadcasting. It’s like Hromadske.tv , but it’s a radio. They have a comfortable website but the only problem is that some news there haven’t been translated on time. So some news may remain in Ukrainian on the website for some time.

  1. Unian
This website contains news itself. They are divided by topics,like politics,ecomony,sport,science,etc. Apart from this, you can also find out blogs of Ukrainian bloggers, activists, deputies and people that want to speak their mind.

  1. Ukrinform
Like UNIAN,Ukrinform also has their English website, but here you’ll find just the news. There’s lack of different blogs, esp blogs of defferent insiders, which is a bit sad. But it’s also a nice option to find all event information uploaded up-to-date.

  1. KyivPost


Now this is what you’ll certainly like. KyivPost isn’t only a news webpage, it’s also an english newspaper about Ukraine. You’ll find on the page where to find it. Moreover, KyivPost includes opinion category and this is great. If you want to find questions about the Ukrainian-Russian war, I strongly recommend you to read a military blog of Dmitry Tymchuk. He explains everything in a perfectly understantable way. Who is he? Well, first of all, he is also a coordinator of an English webpage about Ukraine!

  1. Information Resistance (From Ukrainian - Інформаційний спротив(read as “Informatsiynij Sprotiv”)
Dmitry Tymchuk used to be a military officer. Right now he's a coordinator of Information Resistance. Due to this website, which has a lot of detailed analytic of Ukrainian-Russian conflict, he became one of the most popular Internet figure in Ukraine.Information Resistance is a non-governmental project that aims to counteract external threats to the informational space of Ukraine in the main areas of military, economic, and energy, as well as the sphere of informational security.
It has a lot of analytics of Ukrainian situation, which make it really a worth reading stuff.

  1. IA ZIK


Information Agency ZIK is located in Lviv and has more detailed news about western Ukraine plus global Ukrainian news. The only thing is that news written in english may be a bit “unfresh” but overall you’ll certainly see the latest news on time,maybe their quantity would be smaller.

  1. The Day Newspaper


The day newspaper is a cultural, intelligent and truthful newspaper. It’s chief editor is considered in the same way as her newspaper. On their website you’ll not only find out the latest news, but also read some nice articles about Ukraine in general that include stories about culture, city’s sights, etc.

  1. Ukraine Today


Ukraine Today international information channel was launched on 24 August, 2014. Ever since then, Ukraine Today has been broadcasting news in the English language 24/7.
Based in Kyiv, Ukraine Today headquarters include a newsroom, technical capacity and an experienced team of Ukrainian, British, American and Canadian editors and journalists.

They also cooperate with other Ukrainian television broadcasting stations including 1+1, The First National TV Channel, Hromadske International and others. Selected programs and documentary films are adapted then distributed further through us. It means that you can not only read the news from Ukraine in English but also watch them live. What’s more, UAToday also has IOS and Android apps so it’ll be really easy to read english-written news on the go.

Why putin NEVER needed Crimea


Photo: Reuters. Ukrainian soldier comes to Little green men in Crimea to talk to them. He has no weapons whereas the reaction of Little green men is seen.
September 1938. Munich Agreement. Germans decided to “take” a piece of Czechoslovakia. 
Short story:
Hitler: Oh hi, European countries, can I take a piece of Czechoslovakia? There are a lot of germans living there. I guess they’ll be happy to unite with Germany. I need it right now. I have a lot of guns and weapons and I guess I’ll begin the war (I say this just for you to know, Europe. Just in case.) Europe: Wait, he has lots of guns. He’ll take this piece of Czechoslovakia, it’s all he wants. Then everything’ll be calm. It will work. There will be no war if Hitler will take a little bit of another country. Europe will be happy and calm. Oh, Hitler, come here, we’ll give you what you want! Brain: Guys in Europe, why are you so naive? If a person starts to militarize the country, he will 100% begin something big and dangerous. Don’t you think that simply giving him a piece of a country just because he wanted you to do so will stop him? Europe: Brain, shut up. Everything will be ok. We believe in it.
In the year 1939 The World War II is starting. It killed 54 000 000 people. All because 1 person decided he can do more than others. Just because he has more weapons than others have. Just because he has created lots of zombie fascists. Just because. Recently I heard this phrase: “But Crimea needed to be given. Then Putin will calm down. He’ll get what he wants and then will calm down.” Hitler was also given what he wanted. Does anyone over here remember what was next?
Peace to Ukraine and the world

They'll win

I was thinking about it. Should I show this video to you? Will you understand?
 This video is a bit old, it was posted by Mustang Wanted  last year. Then others started to repost it because it's really awesome. And now I want you to look at it. Perhaps you've watched it before. But those who don't, watch it. Why should you do so?

    This video illustrated every emotion every Ukrainians feels about the war. How we support guys(and sometimes women) who go to fight in the war. How people who don't know the solgier follow him to the burial ground. How we help them as volunteers. What we all feel. Why we don't give up though sometimes we want to do it. Watch this, you'll see what the true Ukrainian feels. Here's the link:

P.S. Sorry for some design misunderstandings, everything'll be cool soon)))

And here another english website about Ukraine!

It's all just for you,guys.
Yes, I've found out a new cool website about Ukraine for you. Look:

http://voxukraine.org/en/

This one stresses financial Ukraine,not Ukraine full of fight and war(though it's impossible to completely forget about it). If you want to invest in our country(oh,we'll be very glad), VoxUkraine is a nice option.
If you simply want to follow financial situation in Ukraine,then this will also be ok :).

There is also a look on how dangerous the crisis in Ukraine could be for Europe, how the corruption could be defeated, what is the future of the economic situation in Ukraine and many other captivating articles.
So, go there and read something nice :)

If you want to see other Ukrainian websites that write about my counrty in English, read the "So hard to fing the truth" post. Here's the link:

A view of a local about...how to behave in Ukraine

It was really surprising:-) I googled "how to behave" and felt a surprise when Google the great gave me this option : " how to behave in Ukraine".   
Wow. Of course, I know that in my country we have some problems, but I didn't know that people are looking for a how-to about behavior in Ukraine :-) So I have decided to help others to solve the problem, create a post "for dummies" :). Here, Ukrainian girl explains how to behave in Ukraine (though personally,it sounds a bit funny :-))  
  1. NEVER EVER IN YOUR LIFE believe to what Russian mass media say. I repeat NEVER EVER.  In Russia, there are ONLY FEW tv channels and news websites sat the truth and are a bit independent from the regime. About 95% of mass media is being meticulously controlled by Russian authority and they announce information which is needed for Russian authority to influence and to zombify the population.  Even oppositional Russian mass media websites (like DOZHD', for example) still often lie and give unclear information. I remember lots of "stories" about Ukraine created by Russian mass media. For example, it was said that in Slovyansk' Ukrainian soldiers have crucified a boy(that's the most famous, every Ukrainian knows it :) )                                                                  
  I'll later write about most famous fakes of Russian propaganda or you can visit a wonderful site http://www.stopfake.org/en/news/ where you'll see many evidence of Russian media lying.  
Ukrainian English speaking news websites:
 http://theukrainiantelegraph.blogspot.com/2015/05/so-hard-to-find-truth.html
  1. I’ll open you the biggest secret in the world! In Ukraine you should behave……(ready to hear?) NATURALLY :). Yes, you have heard it from the Ukrainian girl! You can simply travel, live and work in my country, even if you are a foreigner. Moreover, I know a lot of foreigners who came in Ukraine and stayed there. They feel wonderful :) 
  1. The only thing which may spoil your good time is unfortunately corruption. But this is a problem which Ukrainians want to solve. Our politics and government employees like announce how they “defeat corruption” but the result of it is usually unseen(because there is no result). However, Ukrainian civil activists are stubborn people. The authority hates them, hinders their activity and sees them as red ants, that are small, that bite but they have to be blown out in order not to spoil the skin. But civil activists are people who will defeat corruption to the very end. So we’ll cure this illness. 
So,as you see, there’s no need to learn a behavior of a penguin(joking) to come to Ukraine :). No,wait I know what to do. This is a strict direction for you! Just enjoy yourself :) And come to my lovely Ukraine :) 
Peace XOXOXO 

THE BIIIIIIG COMEBACK!!!!

Guys, I haven't written for a year! That's the fault of really serious final exams. I had to prepare for them and they were absolutely significant in my life. But now I have some free time and you'll read some new posts from me :)
    So, THE UKRAINIAN TELEGRAPGH is the blog written by the Ukrainian girl Helen (hello,it's me) and tells the real truth about a counrty that has been recently popular through mass media. This is my country, it has its flaws and cool stuff, it fights with another big country but it'll get this war to the very end and live its life and independent and lovely counrty. I'll soon write a couple of cool posts,so keep attention and subsribe :) See you!

Peace to Ukraine XOXOXO
P.S. If you have questions, suggestions, misunderstandings,etc write me :)
