Episode Notes
What it’s been like for one Ukrainian American journalist to cover the Russian attack on his homeland: “The first couple of days of the war, I threw myself into work, and then after that, I couldn’t function for a day or two. And I quickly figured out that if I keep working, then I have to abstract it on some level.”
Guest: Romeo Kokriatski, managing editor of the New Voice of Ukraine and co-host of the podcast Ukraine Without Hype.
