In a world turned upside down by war, one journalist's diary offers a rare glimpse into the lives of ordinary people living through extraordinary times.

From the day Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, journalist Olga Tokariuk has been on the front lines, reporting on the war's devastating impact on the lives of ordinary Ukrainians.

In her new book, Ukraine Diaries: Dispatches From Kiev, Tokariuk shares her unfiltered observations and experiences from a year of living and working in the Ukrainian capital. Her diary entries offer a raw and unflinching account of the horrors of war, but also the resilience, strength, and determination of the Ukrainian people.

Tokariuk's writing is both deeply personal and deeply informative. She vividly captures the everyday realities of life in a war zone, from the constant threat of shelling and airstrikes to the long lines for food and water. She also profiles the people she meets along the way, from soldiers fighting on the front lines to civilians who have lost everything.

Ukraine Diaries is an essential read for anyone who wants to understand the human cost of war. Tokariuk's gripping firsthand account brings the conflict to life in a way that is both heartbreaking and inspiring.
