Shocking and important piece by @MatinaStevis @sskerrr @KassieBracken and Nimet Kirac. Hopefully the @EU_Commission can muster more than "concern"... nytimes.com/2023/05/19/world…

Clear evidence of Greek authorities bundling migrants onto boats, taking them to sea and setting them adrift. Appalling stuff.

The Turkish authorities are eager to paint the Greek ones in a negative light, part of the hostile game of water ball between the 2, with humans caught in the middle.
They gave us rare permission to meet the migrants in the detention facility in Izmir.

We met Qader Haidari and his family on Wed in Tijuana. Originally from Afghanistan, they had traveled through Central America & were kidnapped by gang members last week in the Mexican state of Sonora.
Watch: nyti.ms/3nYWj2B (w/Noah Throop, @alinecorpus + @rarecanary)
That afternoon, we met Qader again at the wall. He had been given a bracelet by CPB that said "Wednesday," indicating his arrival date.
I was in Tijuana this week reporting on the scene as #Title42 expired on May 11.
On Friday morning, we accompanied Antonio & his family, who are fleeing violence in the Mexican state of Michoacán, to their long-awaited asylum appointment.

In Avdiivka, a frontline city in Eastern Ukraine, over 1800 locals are under non-stop shelling, living in suffocating and dark basements. @YousurAlhlou and I travelled there right before the city became off limits nytimes.com/video/world/euro…
(5/6) In places like Kyiv, the effects of Russian strikes on power infrastructure in late 2022, drastically reduced visible light in the nation’s capital. This tactic aimed to “weaponize” winter by creating tough conditions to test Ukrainian resolve across the country.
