Wow - our sold-out event at Frontline Club last night, on freelancers in Ukraine & my book Night Train to Odesa, was just brilliant. Huge thanks to everyone who came, bought a book, and asked excellent questions!

I'm so glad we could do this in conjunction with Rory Peck Trust, the charity which helped fund my own hostile environment training in 2022 so I could cover frontline stories in Ukraine, and RPT chair Tira Shubart was a fantastic panellist last night...

💬Yulia Navalnaya at the Munich Security Conference:

'I want #Putin and all his associates to know that they will be responsible for everything they have done to our country and my family. And that day will come very soon. I would like to call on the international community and…

A clear and brave message from Alexey Navalny in case the regime should kill him.

Let’s make no mistake, Putin assassinated Navalny. He did so because Navalny was brave enough to stand up to Putin. He did so because Navalny offered the Russian people and alternative to kleptocracy and repression. This is a tragic day for Navalny’s family but also for Russia
