2022 has been a lesson in never judging a book, nor a country, by its cover. At the end of February, while the city of Kharkiv was still under attack, I met 21 yo, Eugene Gromadskyi. At the time I had no idea what he, nor Ukraine, were capable of.

On the day of Russia’s invasion, he fought solidly for 48 hours, his unit outnumbered and out-gunned. But they stopped a number of armoured columns, killing attackers. They even captured some enemy forces as well as ammunition and vehicles. Eugene had help from his dad Oleg.

Those first hours were brutal. Father and son fought shoulder to shoulder, one on machine gun, the other at a grenade launcher. Under heavy Russian fire, they had to withdraw. At ten o’clock that evening Eugene would learn that his dad had been killed in an artillery strike.

And one of the reasons there has been less shelling of Kharkiv in the last 36 hours too. The Russians have been pushed back.
Probably Ukraine’s most significant counter-offensive success so far: retaking the city of Trostyanets yesterday and unblocking the resupply road from the besieged regional capital Sumy to Poltava. That leaves only one regional capital, Chernihiv, encircled. (📷 via Sumy Gov.)

Russian shelling is indiscriminate. In Rubizhne, Lysychansk and Severodonetsk. "artillery was removing those houses very fast - people were trying to hide in the basement so they had no view, no assessment of the current situation, so there was a lot of losses during that time.
