‘No one is going to hand over Ukraine’: A local journalist reports on the hopes and fears of Kharkiv residents amid the looming threat of a Russian invasion
The Ukrainian city of Kharkiv is located just 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the border with Russia. In 2014, it was among the main centers of a bitter standoff between supporters and opponents of the Maidan Revolution. Eight years later -- against the backdrop of a Russian troop buildup that has provoked international fears of a military escalation -- Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky speculated that Moscow may try to "occupy" Kharkiv. In a dispatch from the city, local journalist Olga Antonova reports on how Kharkiv's inhabitants are responding to the prospect of an all-out war with Russia.
