A friend of mine works for this outlet which was iniated by the regime protests of 2004/2005 as a news source in Ukrainian language which was then not widely spoken. It has editions in English and French and is run by Ukrainian editors in various countries. For people living abroad and people looking for current country news through the eyes of it's people, it's a pretty good source, I guess.
