The office of Realna Hazeta, formerly based in Luhansk, was damaged by Russian shelling overnight on 24 May, the news outlet reported in a Facebook post.
The windows in the building were broken, some of the plaster flaked off the walls, and furniture and equipment were damaged.
“There is not a single intact window left in the office. The furniture was either significantly damaged or destroyed. We have lost the equipment. However, no one was injured,” Realna Hazeta reported.
The team shared their bank details for donations.
In another post, chief editor Andriy Dykhtiarenko addressed his audience, saying that the environment in the office was “completely unfit for work” and that it was unlikely to be fully restored within months.
“We are grateful to everyone who supported us and continues to support us,” Andriy Dykhtiarenko added.
He said that the team had relocated from Luhansk and that they would continue to work despite Russian strikes following the team to Kyiv.
In January 2026, the apartment where the Realna Hazeta team used to work was flooded and the building had no heating following Russian air strikes at critical infrastructure. The team was looking for a temporary new office while the apartment was being repaired.
