Ukraine's news in English, the air-raid alert map, war figures and the hryvnia
Ukraine's news in English, from Ukraine's own newsrooms and the world's. For Ukrainians abroad and their families, and everyone following the war.
NOT A GOVERNMENT APP: Ukraine News is independent. It does not represent the government of Ukraine, its armed forces or any government agency and is not affiliated with them. Every source is listed under SOURCES, with its link.
NEWS
By topic (the frontline, attacks and the power grid, peace talks, the EU and NATO, defence tech, corruption, refugees, occupied territories, POWs, nuclear safety, grain, culture, sport) and by city, from Kharkiv to Lviv. Old spellings (Kiev, Odessa) find the same city. A notification at most once a day for what you follow, never at night. Tap a term under a headline (NABU, Shahed) for an explanation.
TODAY
For your city: the time there, the air-raid alert in its oblast, the weather and the air, the power and outage watch, and the hryvnia with what money sent home comes to. An optional alert when several outlets report an attack on your city.
SITUATION
The day of the war, every oblast's air-raid alert on one map, the General Staff's daily figures, peace talks and nuclear safety.
CALENDAR AND UKRAINIAN
Holidays, remembrance days and traditions, with reminders. A Ukrainian word a day, and "Ukraine explained": 100 terms.

WHAT IT CAN'T DO
The alert map is for information and runs minutes behind: in Ukraine, take cover by the sirens and the official Air Alert app. The attack alert follows the news, so it comes after the fact. The General Staff's figures are one side's claims, not independently verified. Stories are the publishers' own; some ask you to subscribe.
Free, with a single banner ad. A one-time purchase removes it.
