[post_audio_speech]

An international investigation revealing the story of an Ukrainian journalist imprisoned and killed in Russia is among the list of finalists of the 2025 Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize for Journalism.

Viktoriia Roshchyna, lost in ‘the grey zone’ was led by 45 journalists, including from Ukrainska Pravda. In the description of the project, the producers say that they had continued Viktoriia’s investigation “into the thousands of Ukrainian civilians illegally detained by Russia that cost her her life”

More information about the finalists can be found here.

The winner will be announced at an award ceremony taking place on 21 October, at the European Parliament in Strasbourg (Daphne Caruana Galizia Press Room). Finalists will be present at the ceremony and the seminar on Press Freedom, which will be organised earlier on the same day.

Launched in 2020, the Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize for Journalism is open to professional journalists and teams of professional journalists of any nationality, who can submit in-depth pieces that have been published or broadcast by media based in one of the 27 EU countries. An independent jury composed of representatives of the press and civil society from the 27 member states, as well as representatives of the main European journalists’ associations, will choose the winning entry. The prize and the €20,000 prize money demonstrate the European Parliament’s strong support for investigative journalism and the importance of a free press.
