KP in Ukraine (Russian: КП в Украине) is a Ukrainian newspaper published six times a week[4] in Kyiv, the nation's capital. It is a Russian language newspaper with some regional editions in the Ukrainian language.[2]

2007 front cover

In March 2009 the paper was awarded a "Newspaper of the Year 2008" award.[5]

In order to comply with Ukrainian decommunization laws the newspaper changed its name from Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine (Russian: Комсомольская правда в Украине; Ukrainian: Комсомольська правда в Україні) to KP in January 2016.[4] But the newspaper stressed it was never a "mouthpiece" of the Komsomol, the youth wing of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.[4]

It is part of United Media Holding group, created by Boris Lozhkin and owned by Serhiy Kurchenko.[6]
