Dear journalists of the Republic! I congratulate you on your professional holiday, on the Day of Media Professionals in the Donetsk People’s Republic! The media and the profession of journalist play a crucial role in the life of our young Republic, largely determining the development of the state, the level of democracy and freedom in society.

I want to wish you professional development, many positive grounds for your reports and good health.
Yours faithfully, Daria Morozova, Human Rights Ombudsman in the Donetsk People’s Republic.
