Greifswald, Germany, April 22 (AFP\/APP): Two months ago, Roksana Panashchuk was working as a freelance journalist in Ukraine. Now, she’s a refugee in Germany, closely watching events back home from the northeastern city of Greifswald.<\/p>\n
“The situation is tough, of course, but everyone is doing what they can,” she told AFP.<\/p>\n
“Soldiers are fighting, volunteers are distributing food and ammunition” — and journalists are “telling the truth… about what’s going on” in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Panashchuk is working as a coordinator for a network of Ukrainian journalists at home and abroad funded and organised by the German magazine Katapult, which specialises in statistics and social scientific studies.<\/p>\n
The project is one of many such initiatives that have sprung up in Germany since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24.<\/p>\n
The RTL network has launched a daily TV show hosted by Ukrainian presenter Karolina Ashion, one of more than 300,000 Ukrainians who have found refuge in Europe’s biggest economy.<\/p>\n
In Berlin, the daily Tagesspiegel newspaper has also decided to open its doors to Ukrainian and Russian journalists by offering them work space and a monthly wage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
