Heartbroken to share that my dear friend Paul Conroy (@reflextv) has passed away from a heart attack. He faced his final moments with courage and dignity. A selfless and fearless soul — you will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, Paul.

Lost in the news cycle but Evan Wright, author of Generation Kill, died by suicide on Friday. He was only 59. What a terrible loss.
Evan Wright is gone. Bummer.

🇺🇦 Fighters of Kayfariki Group (seen in our documentary ‘Frontline Hooligan’) were recently wounded during a 15 hour battle with ambushing Russian forces. They all survived and fought their way out. @ConallKearney was with them on the ground to document it all.

Neo-Nazis held a public trial for "Boneface," a face-tatted member they championed till he was accused of lying bout fighting in the Ukraine war. It all fell apart for "Boneface" when he was challenged to speak Ukrainian and just made vague Slavic noises. vice.com/en/article/epv5ak/i…

Our latest... Inside the far right Russia Volunteer Corp: Russian revolutionaries seeking to overthrow Vladimir Putin after deeming him to be multiculturalist, pro diversity and soft on immigration. Reported with the inimitable @EdR4m with support from the @pulitzercenter
A group of Russian dissidents are helping Ukraine fight against Putin's invasion, but the group’s white nationalist politics feeds into propaganda that Ukraine is dominated by the far right. @jack_s_hewson and @EdR4m have a look inside this group. to.pbs.org/44s73Wk

#Breaking #Ukraine's Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) confirms it carried out a special operation in #Crimea with a unit landing in the Russian-occupied Peninsula: "The units of the GUR of the Ministry of Defense have carried out a landing as part of a special operation, all tasks have been completed ,"
Some pro-Russian sources claim that a small #Ukrainian unit made a landing in Crimea before going back to Odesa by ship. Unconfirmed, but would confirm growing naval Ukrainian operations in the area between Odesa and Crimea.
