We, the team at the Ukrainian data journalism agency Texty.org.ua are reporting unprecedented pressure, manipulation, slander, demands to strip us of donor funding, and threats of physical violence.

There’s a lot of bad journalism out there. This is some of the best. Bravo to the team at @AP who risked so much to tell this story. – at Oregon, USA

Did you know that Russia not only steals the grain left in storage facilities on the occupied territories but also cultivates there millions of tons of crops and sells them. Our new project in collaboration with OneSoil.

Crucial events of ancient history took place on the territory of today's Ukraine. But the archaeological finds that would clarify this have been taken to Russia.

I had to stop reading this story, breathe, then continue.
Ukrainians detained by Russians are forced into slave labor, digging trenches and graves. They're made to wear Russian uniforms to be used as human shields. And Russia is building more prisons.

You refurbish your kitchen, probably spending ages choosing colours. You now really like how the shade of wall tiles complements yellow cupboards. It was quite a headache to put it all together, but it turned out so nicely
Then fucking Russia throws its fucking bomb on your home

Everyone solemnly declaring that Ukraine must become "neutral" should remember that Ukraine was neutral, it did disarm, and the war is the result

In Ukraine, I was struck by the number of women I met who had enlisted in the army to fight the Russians--including a grandma. One female soldier had a shoulder patch reading "ARM WOMEN NOW." Meanwhile, Russian sexism backfires. Read my new column: nytimes.com/2022/12/03/opini…

Since the onset of the full-scale invasion, Russian info warfare forces targeted various regions of Ukraine through local Telegram channels.
This strategy was confirmed by the captured Russian lieutenant colonel. He named 10 such channels.
We managed to identify 120 ⬇️🧵 1/7

This is quite an investigation about russian telegram channels created for occupied territory of Ukraine (as part of invasion plan). Interactive visualizations for this piece are just stunning. Yevhenia, Yuliia, Nadia - bravo! Extremely proud of you!
