The Two Most Precious Words

“There’s no sense in fooling people on the battlefield. Other rules apply there: every single human being is empty-handed once they are dead, whilst a fuck-up can easily get you killed, so you absolutely have to trust the one who’s covering you in combat.” To Dmytro Krapyvenko, journalist and member og Ukraine’s armed forces, solidarity is the difference between life and death. This guest editorial is written within the PEN Ukraine “Dialogues on War” project, supported by the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine.
