I'm happy to report that the auto generated captions provided a name you might want to try for a fashion feature sometime...at 5:09 we had the introduction of the "Creative Editor at the Counter of Fancy News." 😸 Thanks for the peek behind the scenes, and congratulations on being number one in international reporting!

Lovely to put a face to your reporters and that of Lisa, Community Manager 😊.

I am a genealogist, and have traced more than 23 thousand direct ancestors - among whom are St Yaroslav Vladimirovich "the Wise" & St Ingegerd Olofsdotter (my 28x great grandparents)! They, in turn, are the ancestors of six branches in my ancestral tree.

Wow, that’s absolutely fascinating! 😯 Having family ties to such figures is an incredible heritage. Thank you for sharing, I’m really impressed!

Great job Tim! I’m very proud that you have Canadian roots.

Your team’s english is impressive, I must say.

This was so much fun.

I'm old and, for a variety of reasons, have had to learn various foreign languages despite my age and innate lack of liguistic abilities. So -- way to go Tim!

One thing I'd love to have you explore is possible active CIA involvement in the Maidan Revolution. Some people like Oliver Stone and Jeffrey Sachs keep stating that it was due to CIA involvement, but I've not seen any reliable support for this.

My hat is off to Tim and the rest of the team.

Thank you all for your courageous work.

Lisa's quote "it's very stressful work, but oh well" is what I will carry into my week if I start feeling stressed! Helpful to keep things in perspective.

Tim Mak is doing amazing reporting on the ground in Ukraine and you should support him if you can.

I really enjoyed this for so many reasons. I love how all of you are so dedicated to your mission. I am so glad I got to see all of you and hope to meet you in person one day. It was so refreshing to see that although you all have your personal roles , you seem to work great as a team. And might I add how impressed I was that you are all so young (I am seventy) and you manage to produce an outstanding publication. Stay safe !

👍💪 Lovely to put faces to names - although I first came here because I had seen Tim Mak doing his war reporting on TV news in the USA 🫂 What a team 💙💛 Have learned so much from this newsletter which is the ONE sorta-kinda upside of the war ie learning about the wonderful people of Ukraine 🤗

I'm sorry if this was already answered and I missed it...can you tell us what is written on the poster behind Tim at the beginning of this video?

I thoroughly enjoyed this video of all of you! Normally, all we see of your byline is a tiny, round photo. This was the first time we got to see you all in action, hearing your voices, and interacting with each other. What a treat!!
