A notice from Svoboda

On May 5 the Internet newspaper Ukrayinska Pravda published a Ukrainian-language article by Valentyn Labunski titled "Moya Pravda pro Mykolu Melnychenka" (My Truth about Mykola Melnychenko) that was preceded by an editorial note identifying the author as a "correspondent of the Ukrainian-language New York newspaper Svoboda."

The information provided in the editorial note is false. Mr. Labunski is not a correspondent of Svoboda. Furthermore, Svoboda never approved the publication of this type of article and no one from the staff of Ukrayinska Pravda contacted the Svoboda editorial offices to confirm if Valentyn Labunski is indeed a correspondent of Svoboda.

- Irene Jarosewich, editor-in-chief of Svoboda.
