Hard to be the "perfect victim".

Your lecture… was framed with a tension between patriotism on one hand and journalism on the other. Russia is at war with your country, and yet your job is to cover that war. When has that tension between patriotism and journalism been at its strongest for you?

I think at the end of 2023, because I noticed that our fair reporting about corruption during war, about our problems during war that made us seem not such a [perfect] victim, has become a weapon in the hands of those who wanted — and still want — Ukraine to fall. Many radical politicians who suppressed freedom of speech in their own countries, who destroyed opposition, who take control over the media at home, like Viktor Orban in Hungary, started saying, 'Hey, look, Ukraine is corrupt. Look, Ukraine is controlling information during a war. That means Ukraine is not worth helping.'
