Your friend Caroline is a very wise woman. Each witness, especially one trained to look for hidden details, will be valuable. I’m so sorry your grant fell through, but glad you are persevering. Even if the story you thought you’d report lfiesnt happen, you will find an important story to tell.

Thanks for this self-disclosure; it heartens all of us. And thanks for asking what we, readers, want to learn. To me this war seems like a forever war. Do Ukrainians? I know what Zelenskyy says he wants: Russian withdrawal, even from Donbas and Crimea. Do citizens believe that's possible? Do they seem in touch with reality? (I don't mean that insultingly. Self-deception is only human, and as far as I can tell, too many of my fellow Americans are victims. Probably me, too.)

Thank you for showing us (some of) your ‘workings out’. Your ethical dilemma has value in and of itself. I’m curious, what question from a reader would make your heart sing?
