En gruppe journalister inntok luksuseiendommen til en flyktende Victor Janukovitsj – bevæpnet med penn, scannere og hårfønere. Gjennom hektiske dager har gruppen sikret dokumenter som kan avsløre korrupsjon, maktmisbruk og annen kriminalitet. YanukovychLeaks et prosjekt som vokser for hver dag som går. En ukrainsk domstol har krevd å få overlevert dokumentene, men gått med på at journalistene skal få scanne dem først. - Dette var en fantastisk mulighet som kom på det rette tidspunktet til de rette folkene, som hadde kunnskap og mulighet, sa prosjektkoordinator Oleg Khomenok til gijn.org da prosjektet ble kjent. På SKUP-konferansen forteller Oleg Khomenok om det historiske prosjektet og om utviklingen i et Ukraina på randen av krig. ____ A group of journalists captured the luxury property of a fugitive ex-president Victor Yanukovych - armed with pen, scanners and hairdryers.
