About the Kyiv Independent:
The Kyiv Independent is Ukraines English-language media outlet, created by journalists who were fired from the Kyiv Post for defending editorial independence.
The Kyiv Post, Ukraines global voice, went silent on Nov. 8, 2021, days after celebrating the 26th year of its uninterrupted run.
The publication was shut down by the owner in his attempt to take full control of the newsroom that has always followed the principle of editorial independence.
Yet, the editorial team of the independent Kyiv Post refused to be silenced. If we couldnt save the Kyiv Post brand, we could save its values.
On Nov. 11, 2021, over 30 ex-Kyiv Post employees decided to continue the Kyiv Posts legacy by launching a new publication the Kyiv Independent.

But it's hard to believe that this is true. A move like that would not be publicized on advance.

(3,473 posts)Maybe there's a way to seal him in there and cut off communication until the new powers can establish control. The oligarchs may owe their wealth and power to Putin, that doesn't mean they are willing to lose any of it because of him. I dont expect a coup to result in leadership that cares about anyone but themselves, but some sanity would be nice and it looks like Putin has completely lost it
