Good morning to readers. Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
Some career news: I’m leaving NPR as part of the layoffs that dramatically reduced the company’s workforce.
I’ve decided to go back into Ukraine to keep reporting.

I’ll be launching a new email newsletter, ‘The Counteroffensive,’ to cover the war going forward.
There, you’ll find a direct connection to me and my reporting – whether you choose a free or paid subscription.

The Counteroffensive is the first Substack dedicated exclusively to war correspondence.
It will cover the spring Ukrainian counteroffensive.

Many of you know me as an #investigative correspondent and former U.S. #Army combat medic. And many of you have read along as we traveled to nearly every major #Ukrainian city.
I want to keep that conversation going.

...I’m looking to use modern means to satisfy these old instincts: a #Substack newsletter from a #warzone.

If you subscribe to this #email #newsletter, what you’ll get is an open reporter’s notebook from the frontlines of an emerging #ColdWar:
War correspondence by subscription. You’ll get regular and intimate dispatches about what it’s like to cover the largest war in #Europe since WWII
