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.
But this time, alone.
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.
But the name is meant to signify a broader campaign: against apathy, cynicism and ignorance about world events in general and the emergence of a new Cold War in particular.
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.
After all…
... #Warcorrespondence is almost as old as #war itself.
As long as there have been humans fighting, those humans have wanted to find ways to bring their stories home.
