Rubryka, founded in 2018, is Ukraine's foremost Solutions Journalism media outlet, dedicated to fostering a constructive approach that goes beyond merely highlighting problems to also focus on solutions, grassroots initiatives, environmental conservation, equal rights, and community development.

Our mission at Rubryka is to serve as a proactive information partner, supporting the development and positive transformation of Ukraine. This means that our articles are designed to not only showcase successful instances of change and effective solutions, but also to inspire Ukrainians to adopt and replicate these successful approaches, ultimately improving their local surroundings.

The Rubryka team boasts extensive experience in executing large-scale content and advocacy projects. Notably, Rubryka encompasses two sub-brands: EcoRubric, a well-known platform in Ukraine that specializes in covering environmental protection issues, with a current focus on the ecological consequences of a full-scale war, and She’s Got It, a project dedicated to women's rights. Both initiatives operate under the umbrella of the Rubryka editorial office and form integral components of our publication.

Rubryka has three language versions — Ukrainian, English, and Russian, and tailors its content to the needs of both domestic and international audiences.
