The Kyiv Post is Ukraine’s first and most prominent English-language newspaper. It was founded in 1995 in Kyiv by American businessman Jed Sunden.[3]

In 2018, the publication was acquired by prominent Ukrainian businessman Adnan Kivan, founder of KADORR Group.[4]

On November 11, 2021, Luc Chénier returned to Kyiv Post as its CEO to rebuild, with his first hire being Bohdan Nahaylo as its Chief Editor. Within two months, Kyiv Post had doubled its readership, with a clear emphasis on being Ukraine's global voice and by focusing on the USA, Canadian, UK, and European Union markets. By year 3, Kyiv Post had 97% of its readership outside Ukraine, with an combined websites and social media viewership of more than 6 million viewers per month. In October 2023, Kyiv Post was the first news organisations in Ukraine to be given a 100% content transparency and accuracy rating for journalism standards according to global rating platform News Guard (others with a perfect 100% included The Washington PostThe New York Times and The Wall Street Journal).[5]

Following the passing of Adnan Kivan in 2024, ownership of the newspaper passed to his son, Ruslan Kivan, who continues to develop the media project while maintaining its editorial independence and expanding its international presence.   The newspaper’s CEO is Luc Chénier, and the Chief Editor is Bohdan Nahaylo.

The Kyiv Post headquarters is located at 68 Zhylianska Street, Kyiv.
