Ukrainska Pravda / European Pravda

Ukrainian pro-Western, pro-EU integration

Ukrainska Pravda is Ukraine's most-read independent online news outlet, majority-owned by Czech-Ukrainian investor Tomáš Fiala's Dragon Capital since 2021. European Pravda is a separate but affiliated outlet focused on Ukraine's European and Euro-Atlantic integration, run by journalists Sydorenko and Panchenko and funded mainly by Western democracy-promotion grants. Both outlets approach coverage of the Trump administration through the lens of Ukrainian national interests, consistently scrutinizing U.S. peace proposals and policy shifts that they frame as potentially advantageous to Russia.

Owned byUkrainska Pravda: majority-owned by Dragon Capital, the investment firm of Czech-Ukrainian businessman Tomáš Fiala; a 13% minority stake was sold in early 2025 to Pluralis B.V., a Dutch media-impact fund linked to the U.S.-based Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF). European Pravda: independently run by a Ukrainian NGO controlled by co-founders Serhii Sydorenko and Yurii Panchenko; formally a partner of, but not owned by, Ukrainska Pravda.
