Vector opens its pages to practitioners — lawyers, security professionals, economists, diplomats — who have something specific to say and can defend it. You write under your own name, beside analysis that institutions pay to read.
We give you a voice in a room you would otherwise spend millions to enter.
An analytical column under your byline, a permanent profile page, and a place in the expert roster we consult for comment. Published in seven languages, indexed, and it does not expire. This is advertising for your judgment — the only kind a serious reader accepts.
Wins, mandates, appointments and case notes are carried by Рупор України, our Ukrainian-language sister publication, in its Wire section. Vector itself does not run appointment news: its readers pay for signal, and we will not dilute it. One partnership, two platforms, each with its own audience.
Vector is read at institutional tier by analysis desks, corporate security and policy staff. Partnership puts your argument in front of that readership directly, with no agency standing between you and the reader.
Everything below is checkable on this site right now, without taking our word for it.
English, Ukrainian, German, Russian, both Chinese scripts and Arabic. Every page ships in all seven with hreflang alternates.
Subscription levels built for think tanks, government and corporate security desks — not a general-interest audience.
Author pages carry structured markup and stay at a fixed address. Nothing is rotated out to make room.
Рупор України — Ukrainian-language media reaching a business and political readership.
We publish no audience figures, because we do not yet measure them properly. When the counters exist, the numbers will appear here — until then we would rather be short than impressive.
This is exactly the page a contributor receives — profile, subjects, publications, a route to request comment. Ours is filled in first, so you can judge the format rather than a promise.
Open an expert profile →One form. Tell us who you are, what you practise, and the two or three subjects you can speak to with authority.
We agree the subject, the angle and the deadline. If a subject is wrong for our readers, we say so at this stage, not after you have written it.
You write. We edit for clarity and sourcing, and you approve the final text before anything is published.
Seven languages, a permanent profile page, structured markup, and a standing place in the expert roster.
These are the terms behind every contributed piece. They protect your byline as much as our pages.
A partner column carries the line “Expert column · your firm”, and in smaller type, “Partner contribution”. That label is not a disclaimer against you — it is the reason the page is worth having. An unmarked placement is advertising dressed as journalism: readers learn to discount it, and the platform loses the authority you came here for. Marked, your byline stands next to work that people pay to read.
Tell us what you can write about. We answer every application, including the ones we decline.
Contributions are published under a written agreement covering rights, translation into seven languages, and responsibility for factual accuracy. We send the text before the first publication, not after.
