Influential Ukrainian journalists are worried about the future of free speech in their country after the real estate developer who owns the Kyiv Post, Ukraine’s leading English-language newspaper, fired all of its staff. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) is concerned that pressure was put on the newspaper over reporting critical of the government and urges the owner to sell it in order to protect its independence.
It was when they were denied access to their workstations on the morning of 8 November that the Kyiv Post’s employees learned they had been fired.
