УНІАН — новини України і світу

Your compass in events in Ukraine and the world: politics, war, economy, culture

UNIAN (Ukrainian Independent News Agency) is one of the most authoritative and influential news agencies in Ukraine, a recognized leader in the Ukrainian media market. Founded in March 1993, it became one of the first independent news sources in the revived Ukrainian statehood, setting standards of objectivity, efficiency and professionalism that it maintains to this day. For more than 33 years of its activity, UNIAN has not just followed events - it has shaped the information space of the country, becoming an integral part of its modern history.

From the very beginning, UNIAN has been an independent structure, free from state influence. Already in 1995, a monitoring department was created, which analyzed the central and regional press, online publications and television programs, providing a comprehensive overview of events. In 1999, UNIAN launched one of the first operational photo news services in Ukraine, operating in real time. This became a revolution: millions of exclusive photos of the agency's correspondents have now captured all the key moments of modern Ukraine - from the Orange Revolution and the Revolution of Dignity to the most important political, economic and social events. UNIAN photos are published by thousands of media outlets in dozens of countries around the world, used in documentaries, feature films and television programs.

The agency was the first in Ukraine to start holding online press conferences in real time with broadcasting via Internet television. Today, UNIAN is among the leading media structures, preserving the spirit of independence declared at its founding.

UNIAN's authority is confirmed by decades of impeccable reputation and world-class partnerships. It is the largest independent information agency of Ukraine, which remains a leader among the country's news media. Its main principles are efficiency, speed of delivery of the latest news, depth of coverage and absolute accuracy. UNIAN's analytical materials and expert comments help readers understand not only "what happened", but also "why it is important" and "how it will affect the future of Ukraine".

Promptness in news is the agency's calling card.
UNIAN operates 24/7, providing instant delivery of information about all significant events in the country and the world. The UNIAN press center, located in the very center of Kyiv on Khreshchatyk, is the most popular place for holding press conferences, round tables and briefings. It has its own TV studio for live broadcasts. The photo service records events in real time, and the unian.ua portal (as well as the Russian version unian.net and the English version unian.info) instantly publishes materials.

UNIAN's citation rate is unparalleled in Ukraine: the agency is recognized as the most cited source of news from Ukraine. UNIAN materials are reprinted daily by thousands of media outlets around the world, used in analytics, reports and international reviews. The unian.ua portal is the country's largest information resource with a monthly audience of over 15 million readers (according to official statistics). It covers politics, economics, social affairs, tourism, show business, sports, ecology, science and healthcare. The UNIAN brand is actively represented in social networks - Facebook, X (Twitter), Telegram, YouTube, where millions of users follow updates in real time.
Today, UNIAN is not just a news agency, but a powerful media platform that combines the traditions of independent journalism with modern technologies. Over three decades of operational, accurate and comprehensive work have made UNIAN a benchmark of quality for journalists, politicians, businessmen and millions of readers. In the era of information overload, UNIAN remains the reliable reference point that is trusted, referenced, and cited as a primary source. If you are looking for an objective picture of events in Ukraine and the world, UNIAN is always in touch, always first, and always authoritative.
