Diana Vitalievna Panchenko (Ukrainian: Діана Віталіївна Панченко; born 21 May 1988[1]) is a Ukrainian journalist and TV presenter.[1]
Biography[edit]
In 2010, Panchenko graduated from the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute with a degree in publishing and editing, and in 2018, she graduated from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv with a degree in law.[1] Worked in Gazeta.ua, Kyiv TV and NewsOne.[2][3]
In 2020 and 2021 Panchenko stated her pro-Russian positions frequently on Ukrainian TV.[1] Following the outlawing of NewsOne late February 2021[4] she moved to its successor The First Independent TV Channel.[1] This channel was shut down an hour after it launched.[5]
Following the February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine Panchenko fled Ukraine.[1] She claimed that Ukraine had provoked Russia into a full-scale war, and blamed the Ukrainian authorities for all the consequences of the war. While outside the country, Panchenko has continued hosting, including interviewing Aleksandr Lukashenko.[6][7]
In 2023, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) launched a pre-trial investigation into Panchenko due to her trip to Russian occupied Donetsk, and personal sanctions were also imposed on her by presidential decree. [8]
