Cuomo said today that governors were not responsible for sounding warnings about coming pandemics: “Where were all the experts? Where was The NY Times?”
Let’s look at just three of numerous examples from our coverage:
• Jan. 26: "WUHAN, China — A top Chinese health official warned on Sunday that the spread of the dangerous new coronavirus, already extraordinarily rapid, is accelerating further."

• Feb. 2: The Wuhan coronavirus spreading from China is now likely to become a pandemic that circles the globe, according to many of the world’s leading infectious disease experts.

• Feb. 25: "Federal health officials starkly warned on Tuesday that the new coronavirus will almost certainly spread in the United States, and that hospitals, businesses and schools should begin making preparations."

These accounts of Russian occupation:
Children held at knife point; an old woman forced to drink alcohol as her occupiers watched and laughed; whispers of rape and forced disappearances; and an old man found toothless, beaten in a ditch and defecated on.

“I can’t wrap my head around how this war with tanks and missiles is possible,” said the head doctor at the local hospital.
“Against who? The peaceful civilians? This is true barbarity.”

@Tmgneff In the morgue, a civilian victim of Russian forces.
“This person was tortured to death,” the doctor said. "His hands and legs are tied up with sticky tape, his teeth are missing and almost all of his face is gone. It’s unknown what they wanted from him.”

Scoop: @nytimes obtained dozens of battlefield real-time radio transmissions between Russian forces outside Kyiv.
They reveal:
• Soldiers committing possible war crimes against civilians
• Major logistical problems and communication failures
nyti.ms/3IzkuJa
@nytimes Radio intercepts suggest war crimes by Russian forces:
• “Cover the residential area with artillery.”
Evidence of chaos among Russian soldiers:
•  “The boys are suffering, suffering.”
• “You fucking forgot about the fucking air support.”
nyti.ms/3IzkuJa
@nytimes Shockingly, Russian troops have used unencrypted communication channels.
Ukrainians then jam them.
Russian soldier: “Looking for retreat routes. Looking for retreat routes.”
Ukrainian jammer: “Go home. It’s better to be a deserter than fertilizer.”

.@nytimes is deeply saddened to learn of the death of an American journalist in Ukraine, Brent Renaud.
Brent was a talented photographer and filmmaker, but he was not on assignment for @nytimes in Ukraine.
Full statement is here.
Brent's death is a terrible loss. Brave journalists like Brent take tremendous risks to bear witness and to tell the world about the devastation and suffering caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
.@Vivian recalls that Brent’s ties to @nytimes date to 2004, when he and his brother Craig directed the 10-part documentary series "Off to War" for the Discovery Times Channel.

Heartbreaking:
The photo of a deadly Russian mortar attack on a fleeing family outside Kyiv shocked the world.
This is their story. Please read.
By @AndrewKramerNYT.

@AndrewKramerNYT Serhiy Perebyinis, whose wife, Tetiana, was killed in the attack along with their two children, said it was important that their deaths had been recorded in photos and video.
“The whole world should know what is happening here,” he said.
nyti.ms/3hSlXPM
@AndrewKramerNYT Lives lost:
• Tetiana, 43, was chief accountant in Ukraine for SE Ranking, a software company w/offices in California and London. She liked to ski and garden.
• Mykyta, 18, became very protective of his little sister, Alisa, 9, when the war started.

As a former Moscow bureau chief for @nytimes, I am saddened to report that we are pulling our journalists from Russia.
Here is a statement from @meslackman, assistant managing editor, to the company. Image
@nytimes @meslackman "We will continue our live, robust coverage of the war, and have every intention of maintaining our rigorous reporting on Russia's offensive in Ukraine and these attempts to stifle independent journalism.”
— @meslackman, assistant managing editor for @nytimes Image
@nytimes @meslackman NYT Russia coverage is led by @antontroian, one of the finest Moscow bureau chiefs in our long history of reporting there.
He, and the rest of our journalists in the region, will not be deterred.

New US estimate of the Russian death toll in Ukraine: more than 3,000 soldiers.
Nearly 2 weeks into Putin’s invasion — Europe’s largest land war since 1945 — the fearsome image of the Russian military has been shattered.
nyti.ms/3IUsu8v
Russian soldiers have been plagued by poor morale and fuel and food shortages. Troops have crossed the border with rotten MREs (meals ready to eat) that expired in 2002.
Some have surrendered and sabotaged their own vehicles to avoid fighting.

“The Kremlin spent the last 20 years trying to modernize its military,” a former Russian foreign minister said.
“Much of that budget was stolen and spent on mega-yachts in Cyprus. But as a military advisor you cannot report that to the President. So they reported lies.”
