The Kyiv Independent is an English-language Ukrainian online newspaper founded in November 2021—three months before the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine—by former staff of the Kyiv Post and the media consultancy company Jnomics Media. It is active on Twitter, Bluesky and Reddit. In October 2021, disputes arose between the owner of the Kyiv Post and journalists at the newspaper believed that even under the presidency of Volodymyr Zelenskyy, their critical reporting was adversely affecting the business of the owner.
