麻豆约拍

Shetland journalist Jen Stout was studying in Moscow when Russia invaded Ukraine. After a scramble to gather essential accreditation and equipment, Stout crossed the border to report on the human cost of Russian aggression.

Over the course of several trips Stout has reported on the lives of ordinary and extraordinary Ukrainians, all the while juggling the funding and safety concerns that face freelancers operating in a war zone. Today she prepares to join volunteers heading on an evacuation run close to the frontline.
