AUDIO: Reporting amid shelling from Kharkiv, the Edge of the Free World, on Chicago's WGN Radio
I spent the past two weeks traveling Ukraine to share the reality here. A few days ago, we saw the extreme edge of the free world, where the battle rages: Every day since February 24, the Russians have pounded Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, and especially its northern suburb, Saltivka.
While walking amid the ruined buildings, the bewildered remaining locals, the resilient grandmas, bombed-out cars, and shells and missiles striking the district, I gave my daily report to Bob Sirott of Chicago’s WGN Radio.
