Check out my Great to chat with Chris Sampson, who—like me—lives and works in Ukraine. In this wide-ranging conversation, we cover some of the most important and uncomfortable topics surrounding the war, media, and international politics in a The Wire Tap and Voices from the Front collaboration.

We talk about Russia’s abuse of Interpol and how the system is being weaponised, my canceled trip to the United States, the reality of lazy journalism in wartime, and the personal story of how I ended up in Ukraine in the first place. This is an honest, no-nonsense discussion about propaganda, accountability, disinformation, and what it’s actually like to live and work inside a country at war.

If you’re interested in Ukraine, Russia, international justice, media ethics, or the real stories behind the headlines, this conversation is for you! Follow on the ground journalists like Chris, who have a great perspective on what’s happening on the ground.
