MYROSLAVA GONGADZE TO RETURN TO UKRAINE AS HEAD OF VOICE OF AMERICA IN EASTERN EUROPE

The U.S. international radio company “The Voice of America” (VOA) has appointed journalist Myroslava Gongadze as Eastern Europe Chief, due to which she will move to Kyiv in 2022, the Voice of America press service said.

As explained in the broadcaster, as a Russian troop buildup intensifies along the Ukrainian border and in Russian-occupied Crimea, Gongadze will be covering for a global audience the Kremlin’s aggressive posture in Eastern Europe as well as the impact of Russia’s and China’s influence throughout the region.

Voice of America expects in this new role, she will lead “expanded coverage of a region threatened by hybrid war and disinformation,” the broadcaster said.

Thus, Gongadze, who has been working for the Voice of America in the United States since 2004, will move to Kyiv in 2022.

In turn, Gongadze said she is honored to build on my seventeen-year career at Voice of America in my new role as Eastern Europe Chief.
