24.02.2022 driving down the empty road into Kyiv, seeing everyone fleeing and not knowing if we'd be trapped inside. The nightmare for Ukrainians hasn't stopped, it's just morphed into a thudding normal. So much respect for my colleagues still covering it.

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.

Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp. Despite how difficult this job can be, I am proud to be a foreign correspondent at The Washington Post.

He has repeatedly starved and destabilised the paper, when, with his wealth, he could have created something that truly rivalled the NYT. This isn't just a 'sad day' for 300~ reporters,

or a 'sad day' for the readers who truly appreciate the type of moral compass that WaPo reporters/editors have repeatedly shown on so many issues (!), (unlike some competitors). This is a f tragedy for the western world.

The other takeaway is just how complicated weapons procurement is. From components and raw materials to manufacturing, transportation. And the goods have to weave their way through a geopolitical nightmare, with many countries not wanting to be seen selling to either side.
