History

Original logo Interfax-Ukraine

Interfax was formed on 24 November 1992, the year following Ukraine's 1991 independence, by a team of 10 people in Kharkiv.[7] In 1993 the agency moved to Kyiv.[7] Director was Oleksandr Martynenko from its founding in 1992 to 1998 and from 2003[8] until his death in 2024.[9] He was succeeded by Yegor Boltrik.[10]

The company owns a 50-seat press centre.[11] The staff of the agency is 105 people (as of the end of February 2022).

Questions of independence

Some sources, up to 2013, affiliated the agency with the non-state Russian group Interfax Information Services. For this reason, in some sources the Ukrainian agency is still labeled as part of that group,[12][13][14] which operates through an offshore company in Cyprus.[15][16]

However, the founder and employees of the company have repeatedly denied this information, explaining that the only things uniting the organizations of the same name are a shared foreign sales system and editorial independence.[17]
