Ordinary people, extraordinary backdrops
Christa Case Bryant
Hours after Olena Khirkovska鈥檚 husband pulled her out of the rubble in a nightgown, the Monitor鈥檚 Dominique Soguel encountered her in a borrowed pink sweater outside her damaged apartment building. That was nearly 16 hours into rescue efforts following a large-scale drone and missile attack that hit Kyiv shortly after 1 a.m. But Ms. Khirkovska was 鈥渟uper strong,鈥� says Dominique. Her photo captures a striking ordinariness against an extraordinary backdrop.
There鈥檚 a high cost to sending correspondents to places like Ukraine. But there鈥檚 just no substitute for having the Monitor on the ground, finding people like Ms. Khirkovska. People standing strong amid crumpled metal.
