For us, independence means strength. It means the ability to report on what we believe matters, answering only to our audience.
We made this zip hoodie as part of our special collection for the Kyiv Independent's fifth anniversary. Because independence starts within each of us: in making up our own minds, using our own voices and standing by our own choices.
Wear it as a reminder of that, as a sign of support for our work, or simply to inspire others.
Whatever your reason, thank you, as every order helps fund our independent journalism in Ukraine.

Where we ship
We ship worldwide, with a few exceptions. We do not ship to Russia, Belarus, Ecuador, Cuba, Iran, China, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, or the Gaza Strip.
How long will my order take?
Orders are usually fulfilled within 7 business days. Most items are made to order and processed in 3–7 business days before they ship.
For orders to the US, the European Union, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Japan, delivery usually takes 5 to 15 business days.
If the items you chose are not stocked locally, delivery can take longer — approximately 7 to 21 business days. This depends on the product, and on your size and color choices. To get orders to you faster, we ship from several fulfillment locations around the world, so items in the same order may arrive separately.
Orders to Ukraine
Merchandise orders to Ukraine are delivered to the Ukrposhta branch closest to the address you provide at checkout. Ukrposhta will notify you when your order is ready for pickup.
Tracking your order
Once your order ships, we'll email you a tracking link after shipment so you can follow it to your door.
"The Power Within" magazine
The magazine is produced entirely in Ukraine and shipped directly from Ukraine through Nova Post, Ukraine's largest private delivery company. Shipping costs vary by destination — you'll see the rate at checkout.
A few things to know before you order the magazine:
Shipping the magazine out of Ukraine costs more than it once did — disrupted trade routes, port closures, and higher fuel costs since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion all add up. The rates you see reflect the real cost of getting a magazine printed in Kyiv into your hands.
The story behind
The Kyiv Independent, Ukraine's fastest-growing English-language media outlet, was founded in November 2021 by a group of journalists who were fired after the owner of their legacy English-language newspaper tried to end its critical coverage of Ukrainian authorities. Instead of giving up, they started over: a small team in a Kyiv coworking space, with little to no resources and a strong belief that Ukraine needs its independent English-language voice now more than ever.
The story behind
Three months after the Kyiv Independent was founded, Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The team stayed in the country and kept on reporting, documenting the war while living through it. Today, the Kyiv Independent is a team of around 100 people, reaching millions of readers worldwide. We still have no single owner. More than 37,000 members in over 100 countries support us financially. That's what keeps our journalism free to read.
The story behind
Launched in 2024, the Kyiv Independent Store is another way to support that work: its profits help fund our on-the-ground reporting in Ukraine. Selected collections have also funded charitable initiatives, from drone detectors for front-line journalists in Ukraine to the evacuation of animals from areas near the front line. And wearing what you buy here is a quiet way to say what you believe in.
