Yevhenia Rusetska has been a correspondent for RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service since 2023. She has spent seven years covering combat operations and their consequences.
An RFE/RL film crew were recording dozens of kilometers from the front line in Ukraine's Donetsk region, when they were suddenly rocked by explosions. Journalists Yevheniia Kytaiva and Anna Kudriavtseva were unharmed and scrambled to provide first aid to wounded Ukrainian soldiers.
