Journalist Luke Harding’s new book, “Invasion,” chronicles the war in Ukraine and his experiences covering it. “This is a terrible story,' he says of the war. 'I guess my plea… is that we continue to pay attention to Ukraine and its fate.'

Mariupol, which I visited in late January of this year, it's a horror show. I mean, it's hard to be definitive about what's happened, because obviously, this is now under Russian control. But we know from people who are there, from eyewitnesses, from people who've subsequently escaped, that thousands of civilians were killed by it, by Russian bombing, by Russian aviation, by an airstrike on a theater where 600 women and children were sheltering.

It's almost impossible to process. You can see a flourishing city of half a million people with ports, with restaurants, with live music, with culture, coffee — and now it's a ghostly ruin. ... There's been nothing like this since Guernica, or since the Second World War.But it's almost impossible to process. You can see a flourishing city of half a million people with ports, with restaurants, with live music, with culture, coffee — and now it's a ghostly ruin.

There's pretty compelling evidence that rape has happened on a large scale. It's a difficult story to report because obviously a lot of women are reluctant to come forward. The Ukrainian authorities have said, certainly in Bucha, that there was a house where women were kept, about 30 of them, where they were serially raped.Looting is an easier story to report because it's everywhere.

Trying to get rich off a war nice. She will be donating all of her proceedings to the Ukrainians correct?

nprfreshair Luke Harding is a renowned fraud.

yea pay attention to this little green shirt nazhi -

Another book? We can barely keep up with developments in that tragic war as it changes daily. Meanwhile the lawlessness, corruption, drugs and death at our southern border and Biden’s failure to keep Americans safe is unforgivable.

Hope is truthful and blames Ukraine leader

Another “great” article / story from NPR…

Prayers for a complete and swift Russian victory.

They're into us for over $100Billion, I'd say our attention is guaranteed. How bout a plea for cease-fire, truce, and - here it comes - peace. Oh, then you'd have nothing to report on.

Any Update On China Rolling Tanks on Protesters? WEAK NPR!!!!! Disgraceful Weak Hacks!!! Shame on the Lot of you all

Imagine what the headline would read if NPR's favorite president was still in office.

Every second of every day our taxes are being stolen for an illegal proxy war. Our military budget was never intended to be a slush fund forking out over 1/6th of its budget on a proxy war. Thats fiscal irresponsibility at best. Stop the steal stop the funding nazis in ukraine

Pay attention or billions?

We demand an investigation in to where our tax dollars are being spent!

I was for the defense of Ukraine. Until I learned about the corruption between Ukraine and the Biden crime family. I feel sorry for the people but not the government of that country
