Illarion Pavliuk is a renowned Ukrainian writer, documentary filmmaker and journalist. He is also, now, in the fight for a free Ukraine. He spoke with me Saturday from his home in the Western part of the country, after he tucked his children into bed.
On Sunday morning, he told me, he will set out on a dangerous journey to help his countrymen as explosions rock Kyiv, and outgunned Ukrainian forces continue to maintain control of their capital. This, a day after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that he needs 'ammunition not a ride.' The call to arms has been made, curfews put in place. Danger abounds. Ukrainians, Pavliuk said, are strong and united; they will not give an inch.
