In late December 2012, Novomedia received the official confirmation of its status change from all-Ukrainian to international. Novomedia has long been working outside Ukraine, with its membership cards issued to citizens of a number of countries.

Israel has been under constant fire from rocket attacks for 66 years. Since the day it was first established as a nation every […]
