On my way now from Kyiv to São Paulo to speak at the 2026 Piauí Journalism Festival @festivalpiaui, organized by @revistapiaui. I’m pretty sure this is the farthest from Ukraine I've had the chance to travel to speak about our work. https://t.co/qc8Mjg3R1S

@olya_rudenko There’s another possibility, and I only suggest this because what Fedorov is doing now is such an about-face from his previous stance.
