I was totally surprised to say, вЂњWe are winning. My relatives were sending messages asking my opinion about what was going on. Even before I got back to Kyiv on the third fourth day, my spirit was higher-way higher. And Russia was starting to fail-and very quickly. Ukraine was far more resilient and far more effective than we supposed it to be. The situation was not as dark as we supposed it to be. They had just defeated the Russian airborne forces. I remember a picture of Ukrainian soldiers posing with the Ukrainian flag and smiling. Bit by bit, we started seeing minor victories. I wasnвЂ™t sleeping, but I followed every single bit of information available in the news. I left the city to bring my mom to a safe place in Western Ukraine. We started seeing the Ukrainian militaryвЂ™s first minor victories. Getting used to the thought that we had lost was the lowest point.Д«ut this feeling changed within hours or days. But inside myself, I was super emotional. I was always rational with my friends, my neighbors, and my mom, telling them what they had to do to be safe. And since we have lost our capital city, we have to kiss goodbye many things that were taken for granted, like democracy, like our nation as we knew it. I was not ready to give up, but I was starting to understand that we had lost our lives. Everybody was fleeing, and the city was blocked by traffic jams. The lives of millions of people were changing in a bad way. And the next step probably would have been another airborne force landing inside the city or south of the city to another airfield. Their mission was to seize this airfield and use it as the landing ground for more and more planes coming in. That was a symbolic image of how close we were to downfall. We saw Russian helicopters trying to land. They were fighting in the streets of Kyiv.

Russian troops were trying to break into the district of north of Kyiv. The most emotional period was the first two or three days after the February 24 invasion. If you are willing, can you share some low and high moments? YouвЂ™ve been reporting from the front lines since the late-February invasion. In this condensed and edited interview, I talk withВ Ponomarenko about the Ukrainian concept of вЂњreasonable carelessness,вЂќ service journalism, and hope for Ukraine. Today, five months after he was fired, Ponomarenko is working around the clock for the Kyiv Independent вЂњtelling the world about this war as a service to humankind.вЂќ And indeed, the world is listening to this self-described вЂњvillage guy from Donbas in a crusade for something better.вЂќ Today, 1.1 million people follow Ponomarenko on Twitter. World citizens searching for on-the-ground, English-language news of the invasion found the Kyiv Independent-a journalist-owned publication that, by its own account, serves вЂњits readers and community, and nobody elseвЂќ and one that вЂњwonвЂ™t be dependent on a rich owner or oligarch.вЂќ Just months later, Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a brutal war against Ukraine. From its start, the Kyiv Independent has relied on small donations-the price of a weekly cup of coffee, for example-from subscribers and readers by way of Patreon and a GoFundMe campaign. You can work here for free,вЂќ Ponomarenko told the Bulletin.

Also, staff at a network of co-working spaces in Kyiv said, вЂњGuys, you do a good job.

Then, several lawyers offered pro bono services. When word about the fledgling news startup got out around Kyiv, an information technology company helped the journalists build a website for free. Several Kyiv Post reporters issued a statement that Kivan had sought to compromise their editorial independence and that their dismissal was an attempt to purge вЂњinconvenient, fair, and honest journalists.вЂќ Those reporters, including Ponomarenko, decided to start their own newspaper, which they named the Kyiv Independent.

The owner, Adnan Kivan, had shut down the paper with little warning and no explanation, surprising even President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to a Radio Free Europe report. In November 2021, Illia Ponomarenko, a Ukrainian defense reporter, was fired from his job at the Kyiv Post-the countryвЂ™s then-largest and oldest independent English-language newspaper.
