The statement of Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in support of the representatives of MASS-MEDIA

It is difficult to overestimate the work of a journalist during the war. Working in war zones, they are constantly in an atmosphere of fear and tension, risk their own lives, to convey the most complete, true and objective facts. 

It is important to understand the special role of MASS MEDIA under martial law and to respect the work of media workers, because these are the journalists who may publicize certain facts about war crimes and humanitarian disasters, attracting the attention of the international community. 

Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the journalistic community united and together opposed Russian propaganda, destroying the sick fantasies of Kremlin narratives. 

The Ukrainian state understands and highly appreciates the contribution of Ukrainian and foreign representatives of MASS MEDIA to the information policy of the country. After the victory over the invaders, having the experience, we will definitely find the necessary solutions for more effective interaction and improvement of the work of individual processes together. 

Under martial law, all information must be deliberate and balanced, because the enemy is constantly monitoring the information field to oppose Ukrainian defenders. That’s why we call on the journalist to follow the rules during martial law and  not to endanger themselves and other people. And the public should avoid disclosing and sharing any information related to classified or security information, as this could significantly harm the Ukrainian military. 

Society should trust and support journalists and the military in their difficult work. The Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine thank the representatives of the fourth government for their dedicated work, professionalism and fearlessness in covering Russian aggression against Ukraine. We will win together!
