In detail
Where the news comes from
Every outlet in Baba was chosen by hand: Ukrainian newsrooms such as Ukrainska Pravda, Suspilne, Ukrinform, Hromadske, NV, Radio Svoboda and Dzerkalo Tyzhnia, and international services such as BBC News Ukrainian and DW. There is no Russian state media and no pro-Kremlin outlet, and there never will be.
How a story opens
Tap a headline to read the summary, listen to it, save it or share it. The full article opens from the publisher's own website, so the journalists who wrote it get the visit.
Questions
Is the news in Ukrainian or English?
Both. Choose either language in Settings, and Baba shows the outlets that publish in it. Some outlets publish in both.
Can I read the whole article?
Yes. Baba shows the headline and summary, and opens the full article from the publisher's website with one tap.
How often is the news updated?
Leading sources are checked every fifteen minutes, and the rest several times a day.
