🧘‍♀️ On mental health

"It's impossible to tell my team how to rest and how to grief. We don't time for self-reflection now. But every single person of our newsroom is affected by this war," says @SMusaieva from @ukrpravda_news
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
🇺🇦 On how this war should end

"This war started in Crimea in 2014 and it should end in Crimea too. Without this, nobody can feel safe. Because Crimea is not a place for vacations anymore. It's a huge military base," says @SMusaieva from @ukrpravda_news
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
📱 On citizen journalism

"We received thousands of photos, videos and comments from our readers in places like Kherson and Mariupol. We verified them and it helped us to report the full picture of the war," says @SMusaieva from @ukrpravda_news
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
📍 On Crimean Tatars

"Many Tatars in Crimea don't want to take part in this war against Ukraine. Some of my relatives left Crimea after the start of the mobilisation and they now live in Kazakhstan," says @SMusaieva from @ukrpravda_news
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
🔴 On Bucha

"Of course I have friends in Russia and they texted me with support. But for me the like redline was Bucha, where Russian soldiers killed Ukrainian civilians. I cried and I felt only fury," says @SMusaieva from @ukrpravda_news
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
🎙 On foreign coverage

"Every Ukrainian became a volunteer, and I'd like to see more stories about the Ukrainian resistance. Our army is made of journalists, artists, musicians. That's why we talk about genocide," says @SMusaieva from @ukrpravda_news
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
🎙 On what she'd like to do when victory comes

"I have a dream: I go to Crimea and hug my relatives whom I haven't seen for the last eight years. This is only my dream," says @SMusaieva from @ukrpravda_news
