The dreadful events in Ukraine have forced all of us to rethink the main tenets of security, the importance of democratic values, and the right for a free nation to defend its sovereignty. As the Russian invasion continues to displace millions of Ukrainians — along with thousands of victims of the war — we are left with hundreds and thousands of untold stories and lost narratives that have been missing from mainstream accounts of recent events.
To showcase the bravery and resilient spirit of the Ukrainian people during these troubling times, Visegrad Insight has established the Future of Ukraine Fellowship that will give space to Ukrainian voices who stayed at home to defend their country and build up their democracy. As disinformation persists in the media infosphere, there is a demand for solid voices who will take a more human-centred approach to the ongoing events in Ukraine.
We call upon all of our subscribers, readers, and partners to donate to this fellowship program to help Ukrainians be the leading voices of the untold stories behind and beyond the Russian invasion of Ukraine and cover topics the war might have interrupted.
