Apart from Ukrainians who are working hard to expose Russian war crimes and atrocities, international journalists who report from Ukraine also play a crucial role in helping the world see the truth about the unjustified and brutal Russian war. To highlight their work and understand how they approach their important role, Ukraīner started a series of interviews titled “Ukraine Through The Eyes of Reporters”.
Our second episode features Nolan Peterson, an American journalist and a military veteran who has lived in Ukraine since the summer of 2014 when Russia first invaded the country. He came to Ukraine to tell the world about the war and stayed here as he was inspired by Ukrainians who stood up to achieve freedom. In this interview, he shares his experience of being a foreign journalist, explains the motivation of foreign legion soldiers to come to fight in Ukraine, and gives his recommendations for soldiers coming back from war zones.
