DR's Russia and Ukraine correspondent Matilde Kimer takes the audience inside the work of a war correspondent in a reality that changes constantly and can be painful to face. She has covered both countries for almost fifteen years, and this talk blends history with her own experiences from Ukraine and Russia.
Through anecdotes about Russians, Ukrainians, soldiers, civilians, adults and children, and a Danish journalist living through the war, she shows how everyday life holds up when air raid sirens interrupt it. She also shares clips from her reporting and explains how meetings with people turn into radio and TV stories.
The talk covers the latest from the front and the ongoing peace negotiations, and there is room for questions to Matilde Kimer directly. Her work has earned praise for its authenticity and has won awards.
