Lpoolmakefest team

It's at Liverpool Central Library on the 5th of July, and after a decade, we think it had over that time at least about 40,000 families to attend without including our massive outreaches like Maker difference. These are the people who have made that happen. Grab a ticket ! #LMF2025

Had the honor of speaking at #LMF2025, discussing Georgia’s unfolding Perfect Storm.
In these darkest days for a nation once hailed as a "beacon of democracy", I highlighted the resilience of Georgian civil society as it continues to stand strong.

"It's extremely rare that you can do a war and democracy at the same time, but you can." - Ilana Bet-El, historian, writer, senior strategist, at #LMF2025

Democracy justifies the fight and gives meaning to the sacrifice. Ukraine is proving that these two forces can coexist, she added.

"There was somebody corrupt somewhere there in Kyiv, and he's getting bonuses from that. But honestly, it's not always true." - Andrii Borovyk, an expert in good governance, anti-corruption, and European integration, at #LMF2025

Fun fact! The Russians always use Soviet names of Ukrainian cities, disregarding the new ones adopted through decommunization.

But 1 exception: New York, Donetsk Obl, Novhorodske in 1951-2021.

The Russians always say that they they occupied New York (sic)

"This really is the road to autocracy, because once people say 'everyone's lying, there's no truth,' then why would you participate in politics at all, you would just stay out. So, it's a way of creating apathy and nihilism," Applebaum said on the last day of #LMF2025.

.@globalvoices managing editor @nasredinhoja on how they differ from traditional media at #LMF2025:

Editors are people who have zero power in the newsroom. They are there to listen to the journalists from each country and help shape their stories for global readership

"Ukraine is not a corrupt country. Ukraine is a country that is fighting corruption," states Andrii Borovyk, Ukrainian expert in anti-corruption and European integration, during #LMF2025.

"It's extremely difficult to create democracy and fight a war at the same time," says historian and writer Ilana Bet-El when talking about corruption in Ukraine.

During #LMF2025, Bet-El explained that Ukraine's struggle had come from a desire for a better life in their country.

War doesn't stop Ukrainian companies from developing

State-owned railways @ukrzaliznytsia has the ambition to become most family-oriented railway in the world, its comms director tells at #LMF2025

Earlier, it rolled out a family train car

Ukraine's state-owned Ukrzaliznytsia wanted to rebrand its communications.

So it sent a push-notification apology for a train being 40 seconds late to all passengers. During a full scale-war.

Deutsche bahn was impressed, Oleksandr Shevchenko tells at #LMF2025

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, historian, expert on Ukraine and Russia, Anne Applebaum, told Euromaidan Press at #LMF2025 that she hopes Ukrainian resistance will eventually lead to a Ukrainian victory.

"Make them play our game, don't play their game. If they're boxers, be runner; if they're runners, be boxer. Do not argue about their narratives; speak out your ones."
— Pekar added at #LMF2025 during the discussion about how to coexist with Russians abroad in the context of the ongoing war

"We don't cancel (Russian) culture. We cancel the weaponisation of the culture."
—Valerii Pekar, professor at Kyiv-Mohyla Business School, the Business School and School of Public Management of Ukrainian Catholic University, at #LMF2025

"Don't classify Russians as good Russians and bad Russians. There are useful Russians and not useful Russians," Dmytro Zolotukhin, Executive Director of the Institute of Post-Information Society, said at #LMF2025 during a discussion about how to approach Russians in the context of the ongoing war

How to treat "good Russians"? Should all Russians be held accountable for the aggression?

During #LMF2025, Ukrainian human rights defender Oleksandra Romantsova suggests asking these questions:
♦️Are they against or for Russia's war in general?
♦️Are they doing something to help Ukraine? ⤵️

"When Africa talks about their artifacts being stolen and their reparations, you [Ukrainians] should speak up for them too if you want them to speak up for you, because we all in our fight against colonialism," said Starr, an American journalist and commentator, during #LMF2025.

A lot of Republicans, who supported Trump's impeachment, have been forced out or "quietly left" politics altogether for this reason, she believes.

It’s day two at #LMF2025 and we’ll be sharing insights with you along the way!

"There are free firearms in the US and people are genuinely frightened. Republican officials worry about physical attacks on themselves or harassment of their children for opposing Trump, particularly in conservative states like Iowa, Idaho, or Utah,” Anne Applebaum said during a panel on #LMF2025.

Yesterday marked the first day of Lviv Media Forum — a crucial space for reflection, exchange, and strategy.

We’re glad to be part of it: contributing our perspective and learning from others who defend the truth in times of war.
