In honor of Journalist Day, Nova Poshta will provide rehabilitation services to Ukrainian journalists who were injured during the war
Nova Poshta and the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine are launching a joint program to support Ukrainian media professionals who have been injured while covering the war. In time for Journalists’ Day, six journalists and war correspondents will undergo a two-week course of physical and psychological rehabilitation, funded by Nova Poshta.
As part of a joint initiative by Nova Poshta and the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine, assistance will be provided to media professionals who have worked for an extended period directly on the front lines, documenting Russian war crimes, the consequences of Russian attacks, and life in frontline and de-occupied communities, as well as those who have sustained injuries or concussions in the course of their professional activities or require specialized psychological assistance.
“We are grateful to Ukrainian journalists for their courage. Behind every report from the front lines are real people, but this work leaves deep scars. Among those who will undergo rehabilitation are special correspondent Oleksandr, who miraculously survived an attack by an enemy “Lancet” drone but lost colleagues, and correspondent Alona from the Sumy region, who documents the aftermath of shelling every day and lost her own home due to Russian attacks. “Providing them with comprehensive treatment and psychological support is the least we can do as a sincere thank you for their work,” notes Yevhen Tafiychuk, CEO of Nova Poshta.
“Ukrainian journalists, especially those working on the front lines and in communities near the front, document the war, human suffering, and war crimes on a daily basis, often putting their own recovery ‘on hold.’ Without a doubt, journalists also need medical care, psychological support, and time to recover from what they have experienced. We are sincerely grateful to Nova Poshta for this important joint initiative and for understanding that supporting those who keep the public informed during the war is a contribution to Ukraine’s resilience,” comments Serhiy Tomilenko, head of the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine.
The rehabilitation program will take place at a specialized medical facility in the Rivne region and will include physical rehabilitation, medical examinations, psychological support, and rehabilitation treatments.
