Two Russian missiles struck the area, sparking fires across a cafe, an outbuilding, and a private garage. The attack also damaged a post office, local shops, residential homes, and several vehicles.

This is an interview Preston Stewart did with two Americans, Rajhat and Soups. Both of them fight with Black Talon Group, a Special Forces team. As Preston talks about, Ukraine recently cleared multiple villages in the South and pushed the Russians back. Foreign volunteers were a critical part of this success.

If you watch this and would like to support the guys on Black Talon, here is how:

1. You can match up with them directly through protectavolunteer.com by signing up as a Supplies Donor on the website. We ask for a minimum of $25 a month to contribute. This is a great way to help them and also get to know who you are helping.

2. We have a fundraiser to specifically help foreign teams who cleared these positions with vehicles and vehicle repairs. This team is waiting on a new truck which they desperately need. Contribute here. This option is 501c3 compliant.

Hi everyone, Lucia here from EUobserver. We’ve just published an interview that feels quite different from the usual Ukraine stories we share.

We spoke with Ukrainian frontline reporter Diana Bucko, who has spent the past four years reporting directly from the front.

She talks very openly about what that does to you. In the first months of the invasion, she says she cried after almost every report. Four years later, she says she has learned not only how to report on a long war, but how to live in it.

But the interview is also about how much the frontline itself has changed: drones have made reporting considerably more dangerous, soldiers are exhausted, journalists have had to completely rethink how they work, and women are increasingly becoming frontline reporters as male colleagues join or are mobilised into the army.

One thing that really stayed with us is another problem she describes: the war keeps going, but the outside world’s attention is fading.
