Slidstvo.Info

About us

Slidstvo.Info is a team of independent professional journalists. Since 2012, our agency has exposed high-level corruption, government misconduct, human rights violations, and international crimes. 

In 2018, we became the first in Ukraine to launch a regular series of investigative documentaries — a format that sparked significant public outcry and has since been adopted by other major media outlets.

Following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Slidstvo.Info expanded its mission to investigate Russian war crimes and provide frontline reporting. We are the official Ukrainian partner of the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP). 

Over the years, our agency and journalists have been honored with dozens of prestigious national and international awards.
