Truth lives in stories, but power speaks in numbers. As we wrap up 2024, let’s show you what your support achieved.
Picture this: our team churned out 7,596 news pieces, deep dives, and expert analyses. That’s one story every 69 minutes, round the clock. We reached a staggering 14.3 million views on our website alone – the entire populations of Switzerland and Finland combined!
But we didn’t stop there. Our social media presence exploded, as our posts were seen 10.2 million times on Facebook and 1.7 million on Instagram, and we made waves on LinkedIn with another 1.7 million impressions.
Here’s what really turns heads: our voice on X (twitter) generated an astounding 192 million impressions – a number matching nearly two-thirds of America’s population!
As the digital landscape shifted, so did we, planting strong roots on Bluesky with 22,300 dedicated followers and spreading our wings across Mastodon and Threads.
Our combined reach across all platforms totaled 241.9 million digital impressions and views in 2024 – a scale comparable to half the EU’s population!
From the trenches to the towers, we’ve been there. Our boots hit the ground with Ukrainian sappers clearing lethal minefields, our cameras captured the resilience of Black Sea fishermen rebuilding their lives, and our pens documented history as it unfolded in embattled Chasiv Yar.
We were there with civilians facing Russia’s drone “human safari” in Kherson and took you through Ukraine’s bold offensive in Sudzha. We went beyond Ukraine’s borders to reveal Russia’s destabilization of Moldova and Georgia, trained with the Anne of Kyiv brigade in France, investigated the Polish-Ukrainian grain dispute, and documented Russian drones falling on Romania’s soil. We didn’t just cover the news – we lived it.
We asked the tough questions: Can Ukraine achieve victory? Was the Kursk incursion justified? Is Ukraine really banning the Ukrainian Orthodox Church? Can escalation management work? Is Trump a death sentence for Ukraine?
Our impact extends beyond the digital realm: our journalists published a book documenting Ukraine’s resilience in the face of Russia’s invasion, drawing from our frontline reporting during the war’s earliest days.
Beyond reporting change – we powered it: unleashing our global reach, we drove 76 fundraisers that turned €201,000 into battlefield tech for Ukraine’s defenders, procuring night vision devices, drones, anti-drone systems, mobile power stations, generators, and Starlink terminals. While our words kept the world’s gaze fixed on the frontlines, our actions armed warriors with eyes above and sight in darkness – because democracy needs both tech and muscle. Our heartfelt thanks go to every Euromaidan Press reader who help give Ukraine an edge in this high-tech war! Become one of them on our fundraiser page.
Born in the fires of the Euromaidan Revolution, we’ve transformed from grassroots activists into a razor-sharp team of 15 battle-tested journalists. This year, our first reunion since Russia’s full-scale invasion sparked our next leap forward – launching video production and a turbocharged strategy that’s already breaking new ground.
Charging into 2025, we know no challenge is too great – because we have YOU. Backed by 542 incredible patrons who believe in the power of truth, we’re stepping into another year with bold plans. But here’s the thing – we’re just getting started.
