is that, and i don t know whether 0leksy and irina agree, but we ve seen terrible things in this war, and even more terrible things could happen if light doesn t continue to be shone on any atrocities to come. if the world looks away, the darkness, other things could happen in the darkness. and i think it is incumbent on the media to try as much as possible not to take an eye off this story, even if the engagement does come down a bit. and i ll come to irina on that in a moment. but christina at sky, i would like to ask you about that, when you re balancing coverage of ukraine versus coverage of the police finds over the downing street parties, for example, how do you gauge the the right way forward on that? well, the right way forward is to keep telling the compelling stories that are still there. we re committed. we ve got three teams still in ukraine, and we have no plans to reduce that at the moment. independent, impartial eyewitness
shifted policy in the west because sky news, bbc the times, wrote about them. we know the recent story in the times about the woman raped by russian soldiers. i think that s important to mention. that s important for the world to know. and i think i agree with colleagues here that even if we see that attention is dropping, ourjobs as journalists is to write about stuff that is important, and we should continue this. 0leksy, yours is going to be the final comment on today s media show. thank you very much for your contribution. thanks to all of our guests forjoining us. we heard from the economist. lyse doucet from bbc news. christina nicholas esquire s from sky news. alexi sorokin from the kyiv independent. and also from the freelance journalist and producer irina
journalism is really, really important. unless we put people there to go and find stories, we re not going to find out, as lyse says, we re not going to shine a light on what s going on. and so we ve got that commitment and we ll continue that commitment. and then at the end of the day, you know, the stories are compelling. you can t see too many stories of little old ladies who are have been evacuated from their towns. it touches people s emotions. and myjob is to make sure that we are telling the stories that still engage people, but also continue to tell them the stories that are really important and what goes on and continues to go into ukraine is important. and as lyse said, for all of us in all sorts of different ways. 0leksy, just finally, is there something about this story that we re missing that after these weeks, we should turn our attention to 0lesky? do you think there s something that requires more coverage, more emphasis? i actually want to complement foreign publication
how they should behave. and that was probably the main point of this letter. they were asking the government and the ministry of defence to define certain rules that journalists should oblige with not to not to harm the military, not to breach any wartime laws or rules, and at the same time perform theirjobs. so you re looking for greater clarity for journalists, and it looks very likely, unless there s some surprise turn of events in the talks in turkey, that this conflict will continue, thatjournalists will need to continue telling the story. but there is increasing amounts of evidence that perhaps interest in the conflict in ukraine is beginning to decline, admittedly from a point of huge interest around the world. 0lesky and lyse, i d like to ask you about this, 0leksy, can you see a decline in the number
