Details: The ceremony took place on 28 November. UP’s editor-in-chief took part via video link.
Quote from Musaieva: "This is an acknowledgement of the work of Ukrainska Pravda staff who have covered this horrific and barbaric war 24/7 since the very first day of the full-scale invasion and do everything in their power to ensure that no aspect of it remains unnoticed. We do this and will continue to do this for our readers, no matter how hard it may be."
Background: The Albert Londres Prize is a French award for journalists and TV reporters under the age of 40. It was founded in 1932 in memory of French journalist Albert Londres.
Initially the award was presented only for the "best written report". The "best audiovisual report" category was added in 1985.
The awards ceremony is held in various cities around the world, in a different city each year, reflecting the wide geographical coverage of Londres’ reports.
