Transcript:
LABOTT: Thanks very much, Kayla. And thank you, everybody, for this very timely panel of journalists who have recently spent time covering the war in Ukraine for not just a discussion of the situation on the ground there and policy considerations for the U.S. and its NATO allies, but also their personal perceptions.
Obviously, covering conflict is never easy for journalists. We’re trying to report on the ground but also tell the human story and the toll that it’s taking on the people involved. So I couldn’t think of a better panel to dive right in, kind of real veteran correspondents of foreign policy and conflict. Vivian Salama is national security correspondent for Wall Street Journal; Nick Schifrin, foreign affairs and defense correspondent for PBS NewsHour; and Joshua Yaffa, contributing writer for New Yorker and author of Between Two Fires: Truth, Ambition, and Compromise in Putin’s Russia.
