Simply Scenes from Christmastide in Lviv
Radio War Day 1038: 'Culture is resistance'
🦌❄️⛰️🎄UKRAINE’S CARPATHIAN MOUNTAINS–I’ve retreated by train to one of my favorite hideouts in the world, tucked into these storied, pastoral European mountains. In today’s episode we primarily show you scenes of the ongoing Christmastide celebrations in Lviv city. I also reflect on what it meant to have spoken live from Ukraine every weekday for nearly three years.
"Culture is resistance,” writes a Ukrainian reflecting on these scenes of carolling this week. "Without traditions, people are not citizens but mere inhabitants."
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HANUKKAH!

LVIV—In today's report, we bring you to Lviv to look at and listen to how they celebrate Christmas season, which in Ukraine is just starting. These weeks, bands of carolers rove the city, entering homes, shops, and restaurants -- and commanding eveyrone's attention with their songs.
Writes a Ukrainian: "Culture is resistance. ... Without traditions, people are not citizens but mere inhabitants."

😴 Ukraine fatigue? It’s a myth. People aren’t tired of Ukraine—they’re tired of repetitive media narratives. Call it Russia’s war on Ukraine, and watch the focus shift.
For nearly 3 years on Chicago’s WGN Radio, I reported daily from Ukraine, keeping Americans engaged for 10 minutes each morning. The secret? Bringing the audience into the story, moment by moment, whether under missile attacks or clear skies.
That segment was cancelled last week—not by choice or popular demand but by “higher forces.” Still, 3 years of daily storytelling proved this: People do care—when you make it real.
I’ll keep reporting here because the truth deserves pursuit until resolution. Onward. ✊
