After touring the Odesa opera theater during an air raid, Zarina Zabrisky travels to the shelled city of Kharkiv and witnesses the mass graves at Izium.
Thank you so much for your detailed reply. It means a lot and I am grateful to reach readers with what I have seen. Yes, my muse is hard at work--I am moved by rage and sorrow of what I have seen. I appreciate you caring about Ukraine.
No words. Just gratitude that someone so finely tuned to history, nuance and the power and dread of the given moment took on the work of describing this. Horror is a weak word but we use what we have. I offer my thanks and blessing.
I agree but I also know that it is really hard. Some people suffer from PTSD or other conditions. I don't judge but I am grateful for every single person who finds strength to face the reality.
Anyone trying to argue that this is not a Russian INVASION is insane. Full stop.
Thank you, Zarina, for bringing this to us. The more evidence of Putin's obvious war crimes, the better. I have almost no words for this. It's a war of choice by Putin. It's genocide.
Thank you Zarina, for your reporting & I hope the soothing aroma of frankensense & myrrh will find you. Like a young Hemingway you have witnessed first hand the horror & sorrow of war.

Those who turn away and ignore this are worse than the perpetrators. We must choose a side, and stand for it

Still working on getting rid of the smell... but hopeful. Thank you.
It took me two tries to get through this. She says we can't smell the smells, but if words could transmit a smell, hers did.
Thank you for reading this story. I know it is hard. I hope to be bringing lighter material when the war is over...
Reading hard stories is hard but IMPORTANT. Thank you for your very, very important work and your excellent writing.
