A free, democratic and independent Ukraine.

That's what you are fighting for.

That's what our efforts are all about.

We are with you, for as long as it takes. Because a free Ukraine is a free Europe.

Happy Independence Day, Ukraine!

Trump has shut down Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, ending 80 years of independent journalism.

These media outlets fought censorship, exposed authoritarian regimes, and provided a free press where none existed.

This is a major loss for democracy and global reporting.
