## Summary

Ukrainian fixer Alla Didur has received the 2026 News Fixer Award from the Kurt Schork Memorial Fund for helping international journalists report from Ukraine. The award recognises the local knowledge and behind-the-scenes work that enable foreign correspondents to cover difficult and dangerous locations.

Didur, who is from Odesa, has worked with international media since Russia’s full-scale invasion began in February 2022. The award cited her contributions to three articles about Russian attacks, drone warfare and Ukraine’s railway defences, as well as her judgement, organisation and care for journalists’ safety. The fund also named French journalists Paul Boyer and Pierre Terraz as the freelance award winners, and Nigerian journalist Abdullah Tijani as the local reporter winner.
