I visited Borodyanka in Ukraine today to report for @GettyImagesNews and took this photo of graffiti in a residential area that was destroyed at the start of the conflict. Does anyone know if it’s a Banksy? Thanks

Recruitment of Kenyan mercenaries ensued months after the Russia-Ukraine war broke out. The allure was thousands of dollars in recruitment fees for recruitment agencies and high salaries that were impossible for many recruited Kenyans to obtain at home. wapo.st/4qnDnoA

Have been too shattered to write this but for the sake of clarity — I have also been laid off by the Post. I was one of the few journalists still working inside Russia. My last story went on the front page and featured rare testimonies from wounded soldiers criticizing the war.

It didn’t feature on the news bulletins on BBC Radio 4 at 7am or 8am – just in the newspaper review, the traditional home for stories the BBC find ‘tricky’.    It didn’t feature in the newspaper review on Broadcasting House on Radio 4.    The review lasted 13 minutes.

We traveled to Sudzha w/ UA troops. Many surreal moments: RU woman begged for peace. UA soldier says his hometown is occupied by RU. "Well, I think we’re just innocent civilians" she said. "I used to think that, too, when we were civilians,” he said back. washingtonpost.com/world/202…

In Ukraine-controlled Sudzha, stranded Russian civilians question what’s next

For Ukrainian forces on the ground, the offensive is seen less as a conquest for long-term annexation and more as a negotiating tactic.

We met young Russians captured by Ukrainian forces in Russia. “We did not want to fight in any way,” said Nikolai, 22. “We were promised that we would not take part in hostilities at all.” 
When asked who promised, he said: “President Vladimir Putin.” wapo.st/4dGDdmJ

In a Ukrainian prison, cells are full of young Russian conscripts

The capture of so many young men in the Ukrainian incursion poses a significant challenge for the Kremlin.
