Trump wears his ignorance as if it were a daring fashion statement. He is never to be believed on any point and the media needs to keep its focus on facts, not on every utterance made by the Ninny in Chief. Thank you for being not only an ethical journalist, but also for caring enough about Ukraine and her people to keep telling their stories. Slava Ukraini

Sincere thanks for your support, Meg. "Trump wears his ignorance as if it were a daring fashion statement" -- that's a spot-on description. We live in a time when too many people believe that their shouted, ill-informed opinions are equal to -- or greater than -- quiet, unassailable facts. Thank you for your vigilance and compassion. Heroiam Slava!

I enjoyed the piece, with its withering take on President Macaw's frailties. I knew I could count on you to mention Viktoriia Roshchyna. That WP story was so dreadful—one of the worst things I've read. (Couldn't help thinking the same thing might have happened to Navalny after death. I remember his mother accusing P. of "abuse of a corpse.") Keep on!

Many thanks for the encouragement, Gabriella. I fear that torture and mistreatment of prisoners is standard policy for Russia, as the U.N. official said in the Post piece. It's further evidence that the description of Russia as a terrorist state is chillingly accurate.

Martin, do you have a translator with you on your trips or have you learned the language? Thank you for your ongoing coverage. xxx

Sincere thanks, Tammy. Re: the language. I'm still a novice, so I rely on translators for interviews with those who don't speak English.
