The year 2025 concluded for Ukraine amidst ongoing war and resistance, with international diplomacy failing to achieve concrete peace results despite high-level talks, including those led by Donald Trump. Internally, the country faced deep political and social tensions, marked by a major corruption scandal involving energy companies and officials, which fueled public anger and protests. Furthermore, protests against the government also arose concerning the controversial mobilization laws. On the front lines, the situation remained largely stalled, with Russia maintaining the initiative, particularly in the Donbas region. Despite the immense human cost and continuous bombardment of civilian infrastructure, Ukrainian resistance persisted. The text concludes that while the struggle continues with resilience shown by civil society and the armed forces, the path to a lasting peace remains uncertain, suggesting the conflict may drag on into 2026.

MOST is co-funded by the European Union.

The MOST – Media Organisations for Stronger Transnational Journalism – project aims to drive innovation within the foreign reporting sector and strengthen the resilience of non-profit and independent media in their coverage of European issues. By bringing together six specialised non-profit media outlets and one human rights-focused organisation, the project will establish a collaborative platform for the exchange of knowledge, resources, and content among the participating partners and other media outlets focused on foreign reporting or European topics.

Building on a decades-long commitment to specialised and non-profit reporting, the initiative seeks to enhance the visibility of Southeast and Eastern Europe within the European public sphere, while reinforcing journalistic practices to combat misinformation and disinformation.

Coordinated by OBCT, the hub will promote the exchange of best practices in creative business models, news production, and distribution processes. Additionally, the project will explore the potential of AI and collaboration, encouraging peer-to-peer learning among partners and engaging with the wider community of specialised digital non-profit media.
