Russia-Ukraine War 2026Background
Euromaidan Press is a Ukrainian English-language news outlet founded in 2014 during the Euromaidan protests that led to the removal of President Yanukovych. It emerged as a volunteer-driven project to provide real-time English reporting on events in Kyiv that international media were struggling to cover at speed. Since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022 it has become one of the principal English-language sources on daily frontline developments, diplomatic negotiations and Russian information operations. In April 2026 Euromaidan Press published analysis of Gerasimov's claim to have "fully completed" the occupation of Luhansk Oblast — the fourth time the Russian chief of staff had made this assertion — noting that Russia had actually lost ground since 1 March 2026 per ISW data.
The outlet operates as a non-profit media organisation with editorial independence from the Ukrainian government, though its editorial stance is explicitly pro-Ukrainian sovereignty. It synthesises frontline data from the Ukrainian General Staff, ISW assessments, and original reporting, then publishes in English to reach an international readership that does not read Ukrainian or Russian. Its coverage of air defence stockpile depletion — including the calculation that Ukraine lacked sufficient PAC-3 rounds to intercept 60 Russian Iskander missiles per month — has been cited in Western policy debates.
Euromaidan Press sits in the wider ecosystem of Ukrainian English-language media alongside the Kyiv Independent and Kyiv Post. Its particular niche is rapid synthesis of battlefield data with analytical context, making it a reference point for journalists and policymakers who need quick orientation on daily developments.
