Iryna is a well-known journalist from Melitopol, a creative personality, the author of numerous projects, who worked in reputable Ukrainian publications. She always remained true to journalistic principles and was a respected colleague.

In May 2023, Iryna was kidnapped by Russian occupiers together with her husband. She has been in captivity for over two years, currently in the Donetsk pre-trial detention center.

We are fighting for her freedom and the freedom of all civilians illegally detained by Russia. Iryna must return to her life, to her work, to her family.

On this day, we call on the international community to increase pressure on Russia so that Iryna and hundreds of other hostages are released as soon as possible.
