đī¸ About
Ukrainian Witness#
Employer of a PIC member participating in the Crimea-recognition methodology
Ukrainian Witness is documented on CrimeaWatch because its editor-in-chief, Kateryna Lykhohliad, serves on the Public Integrity Council (fourth composition) â the body whose methodology treats occupied Crimea as equivalent to Russian territory.
Why This Profile Exists#
A media project dedicated to documenting Ukraine’s struggle â whose name invokes witnessing the truth â tolerates its editor-in-chief’s participation in a body whose methodology operates on an unstated false premise about Crimea’s jurisdictional status.
Summary#
Ukrainian Witness is documented on this site for its institutional tolerance of Kateryna Lykhohliad’s participation in the PIC’s Crimea-recognition methodology. The organization has not publicly addressed the contradiction between its institutional identity and its personnel’s PIC activities.
