Ukrainska Pravda

Ukrainska Pravda (Українська правда) is a Ukrainian online newspaper founded by Georgiy Gongadze on 16 April 2000 (the day of the Ukrainian constitutional referendum). Published mainly in Ukrainian with selected articles published in or translated to Russian and English, the newspaper is tailored for a general readership with an emphasis on the politics of Ukraine.

In May 2021, owner Olena Prytula sold 100% of the corporate rights of Ukrainska Pravda to Dragon Capital. The parties agreed that the editorial policy of the publication would remain unchanged.

History
In December 2002, Ukrainska Pravda was refused a press accreditation by the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Svyatoslav Piskun (an offence against the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

According to the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union, after Ukrainska Pravda journalists Serhiy Leshchenko and Mustafa Nayyem displayed a protest banner with the message "Stop the libel law" during a Verkhovna Rada session on 2 October 2012, the Office of the Verkhovna Rada questioned whether Leshchenko and Nayyem should be granted access to future sessions.

Staff and contributors of Ukrainska Pravda have pioneered many legal and research techniques aimed at advancing freedom of information in Ukraine, particularly those concerning the government spending, government procurement and offshore tax evasion. Staff journalists routinely participate in non-partisan public actions promoting democracy and press freedom in the country.
