J.T. Blatty on Writing in a War Zone buff.ly/46MjCPf

“I’m a photographer,” writes U.S. veteran and photojournalist J.T. Blatty, “But really, I’m just a human drawn toward the truth, in snapshots of truth.” We review Blatty’s new memoir, which chronicles her path to front-line photojournalism. kyivindependent.com/us-veteran-and…

This is an Oscars moment worth watching.

10 y/a, Russian agents infiltrated and illegally annexed Crimea. Patterns continue on a horrifying level, yet many have accepted the war as a new normal. Would it be normal in your back yard? This doesn’t stop in Ukraine. militaryfamilybooks.com/collections/fe…

10 years ago today many of the participants of Ukraine’s Maidan Revolution of 2014 still hold the line and have volunteered again in fighting against Russian invasion. @jtblatty lived with + chronicled them in her memoir "Snapshots Sent Home" elvaresa.com/book/snapshots…

“I love my Ukraine, but sometimes I think about my son, and even I think about leaving. It’s scary, that those like us who went to Maidan and who went to the war in the beginning, who fought from the soul, that we can think like this. Because then what were we fighting for?”

“No matter how hard it is, somehow, we have to finish this thing. The guys that were fighting believed in victory and they wouldn’t want us, the last volunteers, to just leave everything like this.” elvaresa.com/book/snapshots…

“Those who have power have their own rules, for others there is law. If we were a more active society, we would be able to choose. I said, people, in order to have flowers on the ground, we have to preserve this land first.” elvaresa.com/book/snapshots…

“I will stop when they stop killing off my nation. I have been to the States, I have been to Europe, I have seen how people live. Specifically, live. I won’t put my weapons in a closet until that day comes.” elvaresa.com/book/snapshots…

A riveting account from a US Army vet who used her photography skills to document the lives of Ukrainian volunteers.

@GicAriana Exactly

Even Russia-friendly analysts have had no choice but to acknowledge that Putin may be preparing a new offensive now to boost popularity at home. There are no reports of anti-war demonstrations. Remember all this when saying Russians are only victims of their regime.
