[Siobhán O'Grady @siobhan_ogrady]

For nearly a century, @washingtonpost foreign correspondents have been on the frontlines of wars, pandemics, economic crises, civil uprisings and so much more. Washington needs us. The world needs us. If you read us and need us, please watch and share.

From Watergate to the heroes of today's newsroom, landing scoop after scoop against the odds, The Washington Post is a treasure and one of the last great beacons of independent journalism. It deserves ownership that will support its essential mission. #SaveThePost

Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.)

But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

Despite how difficult this job can be, I am proud to be a foreign correspondent at The Washington Post.

Some have asked in recent days what it means to be an independent newsroom. Here's one example -- a revealing story about The Post's owner -- reported, written and edited by the newsroom with zero interference. Just like every other story. https://t.co/gCauAyey10

Extremely proud of the Washington Post's "American Icon" team, recognized by the @whca for showing "courage, sensitivity and originality in breaking with journalism industry norms" to show the impact of AR-15-related violence.

The final piece in our American Icon series examining the AR-15’s impact appears in today’s @WashingtonPost, featuring expressions of regret from senators who helped block gun restrictions after Sandy Hook. Honored to partner on this one with @pkcapitol. https://t.co/Wh9Sl1V1ti
