I’m pensive this evening. I was rifling through my various feeds and I stopped to look closely at some photos of the snowfall in Kyiv. Winter is here. Putin timed the attacks striking critical infrastructure for this moment. I had a received a note from a journalist friend near Kherson. She told me that she had been sitting in a cafè because there was no heating, electricity or internet where she was staying. “My head is about to explode,” she said. Despite the cold and extreme discomfort, she would be continuing her work to report events and findings, and then she added that she wasn’t alone, and that the entire city was one family.
