“He has heard one friend — who always appears calm under shelling — screaming in his sleep about Grad rockets.” A delicate, striking @siobhan_ogrady @NastyaGalouchka story about trauma, an issue lurking underneath the simplistic themes of bravery washingtonpost.com/world/202…
Traumatic stress, an invisible wound, hobbles Ukrainian soldiers

I told @siobhan_ogrady @washingtonpost time is on Russia’s side re. having soldiers/materiel 2 grind out a long war along massive front. Ukraine doesn’t have that advantage; if weapons arent delivered fast enough, it makes it hard 2 push back Russian gains washingtonpost.com/world/202…
Ukraine, pumped up by Western weapons, is held back by slow deliveries

Ukraine, pumped up by Western weapons, is held back by slow deliveries

Western nations have sent robust weapons supplies, but it is still unclear if Ukraine is sufficiently prepared for an anticipated spring offensive. Tanks from the U.S. won't arrive until fall.

“We know they are coming. We don’t know where.” ⁦@SBHendrix⁩ ⁦@serhiikorolchuk⁩ ⁦@Heidiphotos⁩ on the expected Russian offensive washingtonpost.com/world/202…
Ukraine readies along all fronts for Russia’s next big attack

Ukraine readies along all fronts for Russia’s next big attack

It is unclear precisely where Russia's much-anticipated next attack will start, so Ukrainian forces are readying defenses across a vast and varied winter landscape.

A war of inches. On the shifting front line at Bakhmut with @serhiikorolchuk and @Heidiphotos washingtonpost.com/world/202…
As Russians inch forward near Bakhmut, Ukrainians dig fallback defenses

As Russians inch forward near Bakhmut, Ukrainians dig fallback defenses

In Donetsk, gains or losses are measured in feet, not miles. So even if Russian fighters take Bakhmut, new Ukrainian defenses mean they will not get much farther.

Humans are adaptable. As the front heats up, tens of thousands of Ukrainians have move back. With @serhiikorolchuk and @Heidiphotos washingtonpost.com/world/202…
Thousands of civilians fled Ukraine’s front lines. These people returned.

Thousands of civilians fled Ukraine’s front lines. These people returned.

Thousands of returnees have partially repopulated the area where Moscow is waging its fiercest fighting intent on seizing the entire Donetsk region as its own.

Minutes after Russia invaded, a Ukrainian soldier told his girlfriend that had to get married that day. So yesterday was two anniversaries for Sgt. Rusyn and he let us spend it with him at the front. w @serhiikorolchuk and @Heidiphotos washingtonpost.com/world/202…
