Retard that you are Mikenigger, you are likely not aware that the dictator Zelensky has jailed, killed or run out of the country all of the honest reporters. They all work for the deep state now and report what zelensky tells them to report. Who do you think funds the Kviv Independant? _____________________________________________________________________________________
"MintPress asked both The Kyiv Independent and the Canadian Embassy in Ukraine for comment about their funding arrangement but has not received a response.
The troubling connections undermining The Kyiv Independent's credibility do not end there, however. For example, its contributing editor, Liliane Bivings, used to work and write for the NATO think tank The Atlantic Council, specifically covering Ukraine. Producer Elina-Alem Kent worked for the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv in 2017; not exactly the background one would associate with grassroots, independent media. Chief financial officer Jakub Parusinski was previously employed by the International Center for Policy Studies, a Ukraine-focused think tank sponsored by numerous Western governments. In 2020, culture reporter Artur Korniienko was awarded a fellowship to work for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, an organization that The New York Times once described as a "worldwide propaganda network built by the CIA." Meanwhile, contributor to The Kyiv Independent Lucy Minicozzi-Wheeland previously worked for the Council on Foreign Relations, was given a scholarship by the State Department to study Ukraine, and also worked at the Ukraine Crisis Media Center, an organization directly funded by the U.S. government.
The unquestioned star of The Kyiv Independent, however, is defense reporter Illia Ponomarenko, who, in a short time, has built up a following of over 1.1 million people on Twitter. From the front lines, his tweets and videos go viral daily and provide the basis for much of the Western media's reporting on the conflict. Yet Ponomarenko is far from a neutral actor, and spends an inordinate amount of his time embedded with the Azov Battalion, the Neo-Nazi group whom he describes as his "good friend[s]" and his "brothers in arms."
He isn't "Ukrainian opposition" retard. He's "election opposition". He's the guy that replaced the overthrown elected leader of Ukraine with the help of war mongers and nazis and he opposes elections which would replace Zelensky with someone who is pro-peace.
