‘Mediaruk, which unites Ukrainian journalists and media called on the Verkhovna Rada not to vote for a draft law that would hinder the coverage of criminal cases related to the war.
‘We, journalists of news outlets that systematically cover judicial processes and investigations important to the society, see in this the risks of hindering our work, as well as the rights of our readers to receive reliable information about events in Ukraine,’ the statement says.
The Mediarukh community unites journalists from leading Ukrainian media, investigative journalists and experts from media public organizations.
‘We see in draft law 7033-d an attempt at censorship, which will significantly narrow the possibilities of public control over important judicial processes and will probably contribute to judicial arbitrariness. We call on the members of parliament to reject this draft law,’ Mediarukh concludes.

In 2025, the deadliest year yet for civilians, Ukraine’s three largest charitable foundations raised a record 105.9 billion hryvnias. It is more than the years 2022–2024 combined. According to the UN, humanitarian aid in Ukraine was delivered by more than 450 organisations, reaching five million people over the course of the year. Civic foundations hold licences to purchase lethal weapons, which is a function states have monopolised for centuries. These record sums were underwritten by international government grants, which means foreign states now channel billions directly through Ukrainian civic funds, bypassing inter-state channels. It is hard to imagine a stronger institutional trust in civil society.
