Foundation 2402 (Daily Humanity) invites journalists, producers, documentarians and drivers of media teams to a safety training with scenarios of drone attacks on civilians in Ukraine.
The free training, which includes a journalism workshop, will take place on 5–7 December, 2025 in Kyiv and Kyiv region and will be available to media professionals, whether they work for Ukrainian publications or are freelancers. This was made possible thanks to the support of The Globe and Mail Foundation in Canada.
"In recent months, it has been painful to watch how Russian drones attack journalists, humanitarian workers, residents of frontline cities — in just one month, four journalists were killed by FPV drones in Ukraine and even more were injured."
— Kateryna Sergatskova
