a month ago

The Washington Post, owned by Jeff Bezos, closed its Kyiv bureau amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Local staff may continue working 'in some capacity,' but international desks were also cut.
Ukraine correspondent Lizzie Johnson and bureau chief Siobhán O’Grady expressed devastation over the layoffs.
Over 300 journalists were laid off as the Post shifts focus to national politics, business, and health.
The Post's Kyiv bureau produced notable coverage, including an investigation into Russia recruiting Kenyan men for combat.
Bezos previously redirected the Post's opinion section to prioritize 'personal liberties and free markets.'
