Reader Supported News
RSN: UNDER STAFFED, UNDER FUNDED AND FIGHTING BACK! — No fair! We have more than enough readers to sustain Reader Supported News, by orders of magnitude. It’s not even close and there should be no struggle. We pay our staff, our contributors and our suppliers. We are stretched to the breaking point because 20,000 people will come each day and often fewer than 20 will contribute. We love that you are here but we need your help to do this. With significant urgency.

FOCUS: Nicholas Kristof and Emile Ducke | I Went to Ukraine, and I Saw a Resolve That We Should Learn From
Nicholas Kristof and Emile Ducke, The New York Times
Excerpt: "Inna Osipova pointed to the 30-foot pile of rubble that is all that's left of her apartment building. She and her 5-year-old son narrowly escaped when Russian shelling destroyed the structure, but her grandmother did not and is interred somewhere in the wreckage. Osipova hopes her body will be found so she can be given a proper burial."

Osipova hopes her body will be found so she can be given a proper burial.
Her voice cracked with emotion, but she held together until I asked what she thought of Americans who say it’s time to move on from supporting Ukraine.
“We’re people, you understand,” she said, and she began weeping. “It doesn’t matter if we’re Ukrainian or American — such things should not happen.” And then she was crying too hard to continue.
