“We need visibility on an international level”

15 June 2022. Olesia Tytarenko, deputy editor-in-chief of the National Public Broadcasting Corporation of Ukraine (Suspilne), supports the statement of her colleague Olga Konsevych:

“We as a public broadcaster had it a little easier than the private media. But we also need visibility on an international level, because as you can see, attention and also support is decreasing. And maybe closer international cooperation between journalists, editors and civil society representatives can have a positive effect.

What we are also worried about are the narratives that have appeared recently in western media. Some journalists and public figures were trying to convey an idea that to stop the war, Ukraine has to cede its territory. Our goal as journalists is to prove them wrong. And we would also need Western society’s help in it.”
