U.S. support for Ukraine is a testament to its reliability as an ally

The Post operates under the motto “Democracy Dies in Darkness.” In 2023, The Post did not shy away from continuing to cover issues that moved out of the immediate public eye, such as Russia’s war in Ukraine and the plight of journalists in Russia and other authoritarian regimes. With so many other new events deserving coverage, the fact that The Post continues to cover the war in Ukraine with “complex investigative work” and prominent placement keeps threats to democracy out of the dark. And the war in Ukraine is truly about democracy.
