Background

Euromaidan Press launched in early 2014 during the Euromaidan protests in Kyiv. Volunteers from Ukraine and abroad wanted to give English-speaking audiences coverage of Ukraine that did not rely on Russian-language or Russian state media. Alya Shandra has long been its editor-in-chief, and Mat Babiak is credited as a co-founder. It is registered as a non-governmental organization and relies on reader contributions plus grant support, including from the International Renaissance Foundation. Its output includes news reports, translated Ukrainian-media pieces, analysis, opinion, and daily war summaries (the 'Russo-Ukrainian war, day N' series). It also runs a long-standing effort to counter Russian disinformation. Media-bias raters generally treat it as advocacy-oriented journalism that favors Ukraine and is critical of Russia, with sourcing that is often open and links to primary material. Critics note that its framing is openly partisan on the war, and some pieces rely on anonymous or single sources. In late 2026 its headlines and commentary frame Trump's diplomacy with Moscow, including the diesel sanctions suspension and the energy-truce conditions, mainly through its effect on Ukraine's security. It also gives space to European policy options that do not depend on U.S. approval.
