On October 16, 19:00 — join the conversation “What Ukrainians and Black Americans Can Tell Each Other” with Terrell J. Starr, Christopher Atwood & Volodymyr Yermolenko.

What connects our historical & cultural experiences? How do we overcome colonial traumas and reclaim dignity?

[Francis Dearnley @FrancisDearnley]

David was an optimist. Idealism should be our compass and pragmatism the map.

Thank you @pressgazette for letting us accept his award for 'Public Service Journalism' on his behalf, and for letting me say a few words.

His trophy sits proudly on his desk.

Thank you @EditorsUK for naming @Telegraph's 'Ukraine: The Latest' their 'Podcast of the Year.'

It was a happy but bittersweet moment, as @DomNicholls and I felt someone was missing up there on stage.

David, wherever you are: this one's for you.

David Knowles’s corner appeared at @PenUkraine space in Kyiv. We frequently speak about David before our events, sharing his story with Ukrainian guests and foreign delegates alike. David was a reliable friend and talented journalist. We miss you deeply, @djknowles22 💔

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

The interview that was never meant to be seen, I only publish this so you can hear the voice of @djknowles22 once more, have cut most of my crappy responses to his most excellent questions.

You were forever the professional David.

R.I.P.

[Hanna Ustynova @ustynova]

Our first Twitter dialogue was in April 2022. Then we met several times in Kyiv and were mostly all the time in touch during these 2,5 years. I scrolled today all our talks and listened to all the audios. Can’t and don’t want to believe, my friend @djknowles22

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of our colleague, David Knowles.

David was a talented journalist and a much-loved friend and a colleague. He will be greatly missed.

[Hanna Ustynova @ustynova]

@Telegraph I can’t believe this. David was such a brilliant person.

[PEN Ukraine @PenUkraine]

A year has passed since we lost our colleague and dear friend, Victoria Amelina. She was a writer and member of PEN Ukraine, documenting Russian war crimes with Truth Hounds. On July 1, 2023, she died in a hospital from injuries sustained in a Russian attack on Kramatorsk.
