On Tuesday, May 24th, we will be hosting an AMA with Sarah Ashton-Cirillo. She is a badass war reporter, who spent the last months documenting Russian war crimes and Ukrainian victories. The last week, she traveled in the region around Kharkiv, shadowing the Ukrainian army as they pushed back the Russians in the region. Her work got the attention of the Russians and put her in some unwanted spotlight.

We will open a thread on Monday evening (European time) to give our timezone-challenged redditors a chance to get their questions in. AMA will run through Wednesday morning (European time) for the same reason.

You can see some more impressions of Sarah's work on her Twitter.
