Justice for Journalists Foundation (JFJ) and the undersigned organisations, stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine, but particularly Ukrainian journalists who now find themselves at the frontlines of a large-scale European war.

 

We unilaterally condemn the violence and aggression that puts thousands of our colleagues all over Ukraine in grave danger.

 

We call on the international community to provide any possible assistance to those who are taking on the brave role of reporting from the war zone that is now Ukraine. 

 

We condemn the physical violence, the cyberattacks, disinformation and all other weapons employed by the aggressor against the free and democratic Ukrainian press. 

 

We also stand in solidarity with independent Russian media who continue to report the truth in unprecedented conditions.

 

Join the statement of support for Ukraine by signing it here.
