Still reeling that my four years covering the war in Ukraine for The Washington Post are up — right before the invasion anniversary. I plan to stay in Kyiv because this story is more important than ever. So please reach out with opportunities.

For nearly a century, @washingtonpost foreign correspondents have been on the frontlines of wars, pandemics, economic crises, civil uprisings and so much more. Washington needs us. The world needs us. If you read us and need us, please watch and share. @JeffBezos #SaveThePost

For the past four years, I have sacrificed my mental health and physical safety time and time again to tell the stories of the incredible people of Ukraine. I did so because I thought my employer and the world cared. Please don’t prove me wrong. #SaveThePost

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.

As international correspondents and reporters for the @washingtonpost, we risk our safety to investigate authoritarian governments, report from gang-controlled towns and document evidence of stolen elections. This on-the-ground reporting is more critical than ever. #SaveThePost

Kostya Khudov, the Ukrainian next to me in this photo, could’ve fled Kyiv. Instead, he drove against traffic on Feb 24, 2022 to find me in the city. He stayed with our team every day since — coming under artillery, ballistic missiles, drones for us. @JeffBezos #SaveThePost

Last week, my @WSJ colleague Evan Gershkovich appeared in Russian court for the start of his sham trial, his head shaved on order of prison authorities. Today I buzzed mine in solidarity. Evan is a journalist and journalism is not a crime. #IStandWithEvan

Evan is ensnared in a shadowy judicial system that operates largely at the service of the state security apparatus. Moscow’s propaganda machine is deployed to discredit defendants unable to speak for themselves. “It’s a one-sided game.” wsj.com/world/russia/evan-ge… via @WSJ

Evan Gershkovich's case is going to trial in Ekaterinburg. Prosecutors claim he was on a secret CIA mission to get "secret information" about a major tank factory when arrested last year. Russia has produced no evidence for these ludicrous accusations. t.me/genprocrf/3783

We stood with Evan in a different way yesterday: doing what he likes to do and thinking of him while his family, friends and colleagues grilled and chilled in the park. When we do this again, we want him there. #IStandwithEvan

60 long weeks. Just think of everything you’ve done these past 60 weeks. Evan has spent these endless days in a tiny cell in a notorious Moscow prison. All for doing his job as a reporter. We cannot say it loud enough: Free Evan Now. #IStandWithEvan
