Mariana Chorniievych - attack 08.05.2025

On May 8, 2025, between 8:00 and 10:00 a.m., journalist Mariana Chorniievych hosted a live broadcast on Hromadske Radio.

At 9:20 a.m., during the broadcast, the journalist received an email sent to her personal address by an unknown user from the mail.ru domain, blocked in Ukraine. The message contained obscene language and a threat: (Translated from Russian) “Listen, bitch, if you keep pushing your propaganda, I’ll paste your photo onto porn and post it on social media.”

“Judging by the content of the email, I assume the sender listened to my entire broadcast,” Mariana Chorniievych told the Women in Media, which she contacted for help immediately after the incident.
