This is something VERY special. In my nearly 40 years as a foreign correspondent and then analyst, all over the planet, I have hardly been more touched, and emotionally involved, than during this vertiginous trip, meeting the people in the front line in Donbass nearly 10 years after Maidan, and 2 years after the start of the SMO.
To sum it all up: the rich black soil of Donetsk is where the “rules-based international order” came to die.
