Ukraine

Lucia Starbuck interviews O’Neil about his recent visit to Ukraine to cover the Russian invasion.

While updates on the war are interesting, visually striking and important, the conversation now must begin to shift to what might be the long-term implications of Russia’s war on Ukraine.  

The Ukraine Media Center in Lviv hosted a temporary memorial for members of the news media who have been killed covering the war.

I traveled to Boyarka with two other reporters, a resident and a translator to visit the site of two Russian missile strikes that had hit, we were told, on March 26.

Kyiv is a city on edge, eerily quiet after thousands fled to safety and darkened by those who’ve chosen to remain and work to avoid detection.

Deciding your transportation can be what decides where you spend the night – in a bed or a train station.

The war in Ukraine has again brought me to the rail station in Lviv to meet an arriving train filled with displaced people from the besieged coastal city of Mariupol.

The Ukrainian rail system has been a major player in the evacuation of civilians after the Russian invasion into Ukraine.

Lviv is, at this moment, a bustling center with cafes, restaurants, tourist shops and attractions buzzing with people. It’s busy not because of a lack of war but because of it.
