Ukraine Crisis Media Center

[3] The activities of UCMC are enabled with support of its partners: Public Affairs department of the Embassy of the United States, Kyiv, USAID, International Renaissance Foundation, National Endowment for Democracy (USA), Ukrainian World Foundation (Canada), European Endowment for Democracy (EU), Matra Programme (Embassy of the Netherlands in Ukraine), Internews Agency, Mondelez International, the Institute for Statecraft (UK), NATO and others.

Since July 2014, UCMC has hosted daily briefings on military developments in Ukraine[7][8] by a government representative – Presidential Administration spokesperson on ATO related issues,[9] following them up with press releases in all its working languages.

This department provides assistance to the journalists who cover Ukraine from abroad, drafts its own analytic materials, infographics,[10] and translates press releases of UCMC into English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.

Main push to establishing Arts Department at UCMC was a desire to shift focus on covering the life in Ukraine towards more peaceful events.

This project of UCMC was launched in July 2014 with the support of the International Renaissance Foundation as a platform for dialogue between the public institutions and the expert communities and non-governmental organisations.
