    When Russia began bombarding farmers in Kherson with FPV drones, Oleksandr Hordienko fought back, shooting down over 80 with his rifle. Russians took notice. “They’re hunting me,” he said. Our story on what Ukraine's farmers in Kherson face: wsj.com/world/a-ukrain… (read free)

    Workers have begun removing the Soviet hammer and sickle from Kyiv's iconic Motherland statue. The Ukrainian trident will replace it. The symbolism, of course, is lost on no one. Video: @yurasov_vitaliy

    Putin admits the Wagner Group was fully financed by Russia. "We fully financed this group from the federal budget. Just from May 22 until May 23 the state paid Wagner companies 86,262,000,000 rubles [about 1 billion USD] for cash support and incentive payments."

    Before the war, Mariupol was a bustling city of half a million people. An unknown number died in the siege, and more still are missing. For our final investigation of the year, we wanted to show the reality of occupied Mariupol and those who disappeared: youtu.be/qChgnPkyPjQ

    Ukraine’s Ministry of Internal Affairs said Russia launched “17,314 strikes on civilian targets, and a little more than 300 hits on military targets.” A jaw-dropping ratio. google.com/amp/s/www.ukri…

    Oh boy. @TextyOrgUa, a Ukrainian news outlet that primarily works on data and osint-based investigations, published a project looking at Russia-aligned narratives in the US texty.org.ua/projects/11261… Now, they're being threatened online and called a "terrorist organization" by Musk

    I had to stop reading this story, breathe, then continue. Ukrainians detained by Russians are forced into slave labor, digging trenches and graves. They're made to wear Russian uniforms to be used as human shields. And Russia is building more prisons.

    Thousands of Ukraine civilians are being held in Russian prisons. Russia plans to build many more

    Finally, I get to tell you what our team's been working on for the last few months. This documentary about Wagner investigates how the group began, its activities in Syria and Africa, and its role in the invasion of Ukraine. For your weekend viewing:

    No describing the daily nausea of watching the war escalate from an ocean away, counting the kilometres between the front line and my grandma's kitchen table.

    Very belatedly, I'm thrilled to say I am now based in Kyiv and contributing to WSJ's Ukraine coverage. Story ideas, tips, and nerdy osint findings welcome. DM for Signal. And come visit Kyiv!

    The Stanford Internet Observatory was a powerhouse for investigating online manipulation campaigns. Losing that team's work before the 2024 election because of a Republican attack campaign on these institutions is devastating to the field.

    Absolutely stunning to watch news of Ukraine liberating town after town, soldiers stopping to raise flags, take selfies, and then go to the next location. It's both the speed and giddiness of this offensive that's so formidable.
