The Reckoning Project ...

[Michael Grove]

  A brave group of journalists, lawyers and researchers 

  are amassing evidence to bring Vladimir Putin to justice.

  Janine di Giovanni, who has reported from more wars than

  most, wants to change that. She is a co-founder and

  executive director of The Reckoning Project: Ukraine

  Testifies – an initiative aimed at training journalists and

  researchers to gather testimonies that will be legally

  admissible in national and international courts.

  The Reckoning Project was formed in 2022, two days after

  the Russian invasion of Ukraine, when Peter Pomerantsev,

  the Kyiv-born British academic, author and specialist in

  Russian propaganda contacted di Giovanni. “He called me

  up and he was in tears”, she explains. “He’s Ukrainian, this

  whole concept of Russia invading a sovereign country was

  incredibly disturbing, it was so violent right from the

  beginning, and he said...

 ‘What can we do that goes beyond journalism?’”
