A few hours into my journey in Odessa, I captured this destroyed BMP, MLRS, tank, and self-propelled howitzer. Also take a look at the captured Shahed drone.

Last night my space was cut short due to a power outage here in Ukraine. We got power back for about three hours, and it’s out again. I didn’t come to Ukraine to complain about the situation. I came here to show you the reality on the ground and what people have to live with daily. Thanks to T-Mobile data roaming, that was the only way I could upload this. It took forever, but I got it done.

In the coming months, I’ll be releasing one of the most powerful stories I’ve ever worked on along with video interviews featuring Ukrainian women who opened up about a harsh truth: they feel they have almost no future and barely any place in society. I told them about Jennica Pounds @DataRepublican, in the United States how a woman with no vocal cords became one of the most commanding and influential voices in the conservative movement. A living reminder that silence doesn’t mean powerlessness. Stay tuned. This story is going to shake people. @data_republican @DataInterpretr

My message to the Trump Administration on how to stop Putin and bring him to his knees is this specific plan: Strike the Yamburg, Urengoy, or formally known as Yamal Cross. This will shut down the entire Siberia pipelines and will halt Russia oil sales immediately. @realDonaldTrump @SecWar @PeteHegseth @TPASarah @angertab

Last night, a taxi driver in Kyiv abandoned me on a dark street as curfew loomed and air-raid sirens suddenly wailed. He had no choice—he had to drop me off immediately to get home before the cutoff. Moments later, two muffled explosions shook the air. My phone’s GPS had been disabled for security reasons, leaving me utterly confused in an unfamiliar territory. It took more than two hours of walking through blacked-out streets to finally locate my hotel.

Documenting Ukraine Conflict. I'm heading to Ukraine to document the war, the destruction, and exactly where U.S. taxpayer dollars are ending up on the ground. I promise you all: my reporting will be honest, fair, and free of any spin. As some of you know, I worked on the Ukraine mission in Germany during my time in federal government. The problem is, once equipment and money leave that point, we lose track of it. This isn't a Ukrainian issue—it's a U.S. accountability problem. I know many Ukrainians personally; they're good, proud people who love their country. I'll be there to capture everything I can and bring you the real sentiment of the Ukrainian public on the ground. This trip is entirely self-funded—no one is paying for it. If you'd like to support the effort
