What did Ukraine's news hold on 6 November 2018?
Summary
A look back at two developments reported in the days before 6 November 2018: a death in Kherson and an agreement signed with the Ecumenical Patriarch.
What was Ukraine absorbing on 6 November 2018? Two reports from the preceding days framed the moment, one marked by loss and the other by a signed agreement.
On 4 November 2018, Kateryna Handziuk, an anti-corruption activist, died of the injuries she had suffered in an acid attack on 31 July in Kherson. Her death was reported under the heading of corruption in Ukraine.
A day earlier, on 3 November 2018, President Petro Poroshenko signed an agreement on cooperation with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew.
The two items were unrelated in subject. Together they show what was reported in the days leading up to 6 November 2018: an activist's death after three months of recovery from the attack, and a presidential signature on a cooperation agreement with the Ecumenical Patriarch.
