Ukrainian war correspondent brings the horrors of war to the WEF

Mstyslav Chernov is a Ukrainian video journalist and war correspondent for the Associated Press who reported from and finally escaped the besieged city of Mariupol. Speaking to BizNews after appearing on a panel at the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2022 titled, Ukraine: Reporting from the frontlines, a soft-spoken Chernov detailed what it was like trying to work in a war zone, with limited or no access to basic services and connectivity. Faced by the horrors of war on a daily basis, journalists, both local and international, continue to write history's first draft against a proliferation of misinformation and propaganda permeating all platforms. Chernov said: "It is my direct obligation as a journalist to be a witness, but as a Ukrainian, I would also want the whole world to know what is going on. Not just as a Ukrainian, but as a human."To watch the panel discussion with Chernov and Euronews' Business Editor Sasha Vakulina, who overnight had to become a war correspondent, click here.
