No one ever teaches us what to say to someone who is dying or has chosen to die. Just speak from your heart, write a eulogy and read it, sit in quiet contemplation, whatever seems best, but just showing up is half the battle.

You may be emotional, afraid of crying, lost for words - just do it. I've lost three relatives when I didn't, I was too afraid or just assumed they knew how I felt. I regret it to this day.

This will be a major storyline of the next year: how #Ukraine fatigue, or outright opposition to Ukrainian victory, will play a role in the 2024 presidential campaign.

Fighting this β€˜Ukraine fatigue’ is one of the reasons The Counteroffensive exists in the first place.

We believe that by writing compelling, human-first stories about people going through the news, we can keep interest and public attention on this terrible conflict.

We hope you’ll keep supporting and reading us as the war continues on.

Today’s Dog of War are these pups that congregated along the highway gas station as we found our way back to Kyiv from abroad.

Stay safe out there.

Best,

Finally, the only restaurant that Bourdain visited that is still open is a staple street food in #Kyiv.

One of the few to be "overwhelmingly Kyivian," says Druziuk, who met up with Will to share the hot dog-esque guilty pleasure.

β€˜Kyivska Perepichka’ is a small window on a busy street near #Maidan #Nezalezhnosti, the central square in Kyiv, that serves a #Ukrainian delicacy known as Perepichka, which is a hot dog wrapped in dough and then fried.

Please tell me that soldier didn't have a matching handbag, because that would have just been too much.

Be careful with any β€œprotest” votes and who you cast them for. You could be casting your last vote of any consequence, or your last vote β€” period.

Don’t let yourself get played, and don’t play yourself.
