1+1 media group, as one of the largest media companies in Eastern Europe, asks international community to actively respond to the Russia's war in Ukraine and to make fair decisions about the Russian terrorists and their leaders.

Today, Ukraine needs NATO’s agreement to close its airspace to prevent Russia from shelling civilians, killing dozens of innocent people every day, and destroying infrastructure. Therefore, 1+1 media has addressed Ukrainian diaspora, NGOs and media in more than 30 countries by sending letters translated in respective languages. Thus, 1+1 media hopes that the issue regarding the closure of the sky over Ukraine can be featured in the media, as well as for the response of fellow journalists from the United States, the Great Britain, Italy, Spain, France, Poland, the Czech Republic, Portugal, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, the Netherlands, Ireland, Hungary, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Georgia, Armenia, Belgium, Turkey, Israel, Norway, Dominican Republic and Cyprus (this list is to be updated).

«We would like to express respect to our colleagues from all over the world and to thank them for the support of Ukraine. However, we need more than the events’ coverage. It is not enough to talk about Ukraine displaying the news about the war, but it is needed to hear us with regard to the common issue we have. The sky closure over Ukraine will save the lives of Ukrainians, as well as people all around the world from Putin’s terrorism,» – the media group says. 

On behalf of 1+1 media, we ask you to distribute this appeal among your foreign connections and friends. Some accompanying visuals and texts can be downloaded from the folder at this link.
