Kuchma meets the press

President Leonid Kuchma joins Danylo Yanevsky, president of the Ukrainian Media Club, Ukraine's national press club, at the first meeting between the Ukrainian leader and members of the local and foreign press in Ukraine. The 45-minute, off-the-record meeting gave journalists the opportunity to raise concerns about freedom of the press in Ukraine. The Ukrainian leader pledged to regularly meet with journalists in such an informal setting. The national press club, which has branches in various regions of Ukraine, was founded in early 1994 and registered in 1995.
