Daria Verenova

Education – master's degrees in journalism (Ivan Franko National University of Lviv), public management and administration (Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv) and economics (Vinnytsia National Agrarian University). 

She was part of the 24 Channel team from late 2020 to October 2026. I started my career as a journalist, writing about energy and macroeconomic topics. From 2023 to 2025, I headed the website's economics desk.  

I was a speaker at the 11th business forum EUROSFAT 2023 in Romania (Timisoara) at the initiative of Europuls, where I spoke about the impact of sanctions on the Russian economy. I have experience moderating events on economic topics. In particular, in 2025 I moderated the lecture "How to protect your money from inflation" in a joint project of 24 Channel and "The Last Capitalist". 

In 2023, I was a beneficiary of CFI's "Yak Vdoma" project for Ukrainian journalists. As part of the project, I wrote about foreign businesses that continue to operate in Russia. In the publications, I explained how businesses finance the war by paying taxes. 

In October 2024, I returned to the CFI project, where I worked on a series of analytical materials on energy topics. The main topic was the energy dependence of the EU and Eastern countries on Russia. In particular, I co-authored analytical materials on rare earth minerals in the context of the agreement between Ukraine and the US in the Romanian publication Panorama. During the residency, I also produced a series of analytical materials on Romania's presidential election, covering the full electoral cycle. 

From January to October 2026, she managed the brand and the website’s communications strategy.
