U ovoj rubrici predstavljamo mišljenja, razmišljanja i komentare novinara i istaknutih ličnosti o temama koje su važne u današnjoj Europi. Ovoga puta naša gošća je ukrajinska izvjestiteljica Olena Abramovič, koja povodom početka nove godine s našim čitateljima dijeli svoja nadanja u bolji svijet.
Olena Abramovič ukrajinska je novinarka koja živi u Bruxellesu. Od ruskog napada u veljači 2022. njezin internetski televizijski kanal „Inter” neprekidno izvještava o ratnim zbivanjima koja su zahvatila veliki dio ukrajinskog teritorija. Olena od 2014. izvještava za ukrajinske televizijske kanale o glavnim političkim događajima u Bruxellesu (kao što su sastanci na vrhu NATO-a i EU-a). Tijekom revolucije na Majdanu u Ukrajini 2013. i 2014. pomogla je novinarima iz Bruxellesa da se povežu s političkim čelnicima i institucijama u Kijevu. Također je surađivala s nizozemskom televizijskom kućom NOS u istrazi koja se bavila rušenjem putničkog zrakoplova MH-17, za koje je odgovorna Rusija.
Osim političkih pitanja, Abramovič se bavi i socijalnim pitanjima te pomaže ukrajinskim radnicima u Belgiji da se izbore za svoja prava. Od 2016. u svojem rodnom gradu Kovelu u sjeverozapadnoj Ukrajini organizira i ljetnu školu, odnosno besplatni program mentorstva u okviru kojega se mladima pomaže prilikom odabira sveučilišnog studija. Završila je Učiteljski fakultet, a na sveučilištu Mohyla u Kijevu magistrirala je novinarstvo.
