Really sorry to see so many extremely talented journalists let go from the Washington Post. I'm a foreign editor at The i Paper in the UK. I welcome pitches about the US and rest of the world! Please reach out. Good luck everyone.

30 years after covering Moldova’s short & bloody war I return to interview its president @sandumaiamd She has a nightmarish challenge to steer her country into the EU - but a steely core. "I am stubborn" she says as she drives off in her lone Skoda. ft.com/content/2a8278…

This is some pretty depressing drone footage showing the utter ruin of Bakhmut after months of bitter fighting businessinsider.com/drone-footage-…

This is truly amazing

An old article, but a brilliant one and something I heartily agree with! (Would love to know who wrote it): Flashman, the foreign correspondent’s role model economist.com/christmas-spec…
