Btw I'm coming back to Ukraine to recommence reporting at the end of February (probably from the east, not Kyiv). Ukrainian voices are best, but you can't be expected to shout until your throats rupture when the world is barely listening.
Thank you for standing with Ukraine and for choosing to return and tell those stories. You’re absolutely right, Ukrainian voices should lead but international attention and accountability still matter a lot. As you are planning to head east, what stories do you feel are being most overlooked?
I don't think there's a specific kind of story that's being overlooked - though if anyone has one I could certainly try to cover it! - it's more that I want to remind the international audience that Donetsk oblast is not just territory but PEOPLE. When we hear Trumpian insanity about giving the whole area to Putin, that doesn't mean 'ceding land to end the conflict' it means, for example, handing over tens of thousands of destitute pensioners, and those who stay to support them, (https://annabowles.substack.com/p/just-keep-moving) to an invading army with a track record of mass torture.
Resting is a form of resistance. You are all amazing and so appreciated. Glad you are doing what you need in order to keep telling the truth about Ukraine. Thank you for what you do.
I admire all of you for your courage, dedication and sacrifice. Time to rest, and be with family is important and necessary. Your efforts are greatly appreciated and needed. I only wish the current US admin was more concerned about the people of Ukraine instead of the comforts of the Butcher of Bucha. I hope the EU can counter the lack of US support under the failing trump admin. . I hope you able to get some rest ad warmth this week and in the years to come once this war of Russian aggression ends..
Thank you so much for your kind words and continued support, it truly means a lot to us. We all hope for peace, rest and warmth once this war and Russian aggression finally ends!!!
Please take a break. Caolan Robertson is also taking one and I hate to speak for everyone BUT certainly the pressure of this ghastly Russian winter offensive is taking its toll and we want you all to take care of yourselves. Praying for everyone. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 🙏 🙏🙏
Thank you for your compassion and for caring so deeply about everyone affected. Taking care of ourselves is important and messages like yours warm our hearts 🫂
Team Counteroffensive: glad to hear you are getting a little respite. I pray that you all find the joy and peace in the everyday, mundane things of life. Myroslava, the video of you as a little kid look SO much like one of my granddaughters ... a reminder that humans are much alike wherever they are, war or no war.
Rest warm, Counteroffensive friends, during this coming week. Destress as much as you can, knowing that we'll be here to welcome you back when you're rested and (hopefully) renewed. It's been a looooong war now, and you all deserve a break. Slava Ukraine!!
You all are on the front lines and we SO APPRECIATE everything you do! The entire world is experiencing an upheaval and stress runs high everywhere. I'm very glad you're all taking a break to rest up, recharge and getting a psychological time-out.
Good luck recharging a little, Counteroffensive guys. You do great work.

Take a good break! Try to stay warm, visit family, get some sleep. Your personal comments today are touching. I appreciate all that you do.
Oh you dear dear people. So fragile yet so brave. May your week off bring some inner quietude.
