In the beginning of February, I took out my microphone and began recording daily life in Kyiv. It's here, in the second segment of Reveal's podcast. (10:30)

Kyiv’s under another massive drone attack, with 25, currently flying over the city according to monitoring channels. Sounds of drones, anti-drone fire and explosions have been ricocheting around the night sky for the last 2 hours.

Russia invaded Ukraine 11 years ago and has killed tens of thousands of civilians since -- I don't believe Russia has once said it made a mistake about anything.
President Trump reacted to the Russian strike on Sumy yesterday: "I think it was terrible, and I was told they made a mistake, but I think it's a horrible thing."

A few months ago we ran a small experiment. We created a new account in Telegram and started looking for a job. We joined channels that were directly about jobs in Estonia. Here’s what happened.

A few weeks ago my wife and child spent 3 days at Okhmatdyt, a state-of-the-art public hospital that, among other things, treats children battling cancer. I’m so angry.
This was the new building of Okhmadyt. Here hematological oncology department and the most difficult children with cancer from all over Ukraine. I will not show children, their parents, and doctors in blood. But you need to know: we see this every fucking day.

Kharkiv. The sound you hear from inside the black bag is an incoming call that will never be answered because additional Patriots were not delivered to Ukraine on time. Deliver them now. I urge everyone who can influence leaders of their countries to make their calls today.

Zelensky: “Nearly 90 Russian missiles and 60 Shahed drones launched overnight. The Russian missiles, unlike aid packages, don’t get delayed. The Shaheds, unlike some politicians, don’t hesitate. It’s important to understand the price paid for delays and postponed decisions.”
Another night of massive Russian missile strikes in Ukraine, this time targeting the power infrastructure. DniproHES hydropower station in Zaporizhzhia among those hit. Russia is taking advantage of Republicans in the House cutting off the resupply of air defense interceptors.

Isaacson’s insertion here of “probably correctly” is interesting. If he had the chance, would Musk “probably correctly” have prevented the sinking of the Moskva too?

They’re looking to buy a sturdy workhorse van like this. Roman’s cousin in Ivano-Frankivsk is going to help him find it (and make sure it’s not a lemon).

In this extraordinary scene from Dmytro Komarov's new film, soldiers liberating Bucha come across a man in an ally. He doesn't realize they're Ukrainian -- and having barely escaped Russian execution already -- he immediately thinks they want to kill him. https://t.co/Cnv11589og
