- At a vineyard in Georgia today, the winemaker asked me where I’m from. “I live in Ukraine these days,” I said. “Oh there was good news in Kherson today!” he responded. And then he gifted me a bottle of peach brandy to “open after the victory.” 🇬🇪❤️🇺🇦
- Holtby on declining White House visit invite: "My family and myself, we believe in a world where humans are treated with respect regardless of your stature, what you’re born into. ... You’re asked to choose what side you’re on, and I think it’s pretty clear what side I’m on."
- Loud explosions in downtown Odessa right now. My hotel room windows just shook. Not clear what that was.
- And after everything, this Putin speech has nothing to do with NATO and everything to do with challenging Ukraine’s legitimacy as a state.
- I have some (personal) news: I’m moving to Moscow to be a foreign correspondent for The Washington Post! It’s my dream job. Covering this World Series is my last assignment in Sports, which I haven’t totally wrapped my mind around yet.

00:00 - Caps lost their last road game. So someone else had to do the hot lap. It was Barry friggin’ Trotz.
00:00 - This is pretty significant: New York Rangers superstar forward Artemi Panarin showing support for jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny ahead of planned Saturday protests all over Russia. Hashtags this Instagram post “Freedom for Navalny” instagram.com/p/CKTySKujt2N/…
- Ovechkin is so emotional, he can barely collect his thoughts. Tells us to ask Holtby questions. Holtby to Ovechkin: “You’re doing great, babe.”
- I’m hearing booms in Kharkiv.
- Yesterday: Russia and Ukraine sign an agreement to guarantee blockaded commercial ships with grain exports safe passage from the Black Sea port in Odessa. Today: reports of missile strikes on the Black Sea port in Odessa.
- Spent a day in Kharkiv’s Saltivka neighborhood — one of the most hard-hit areas of the country — where 50 people are living together in a basement. These are Russian-speakers who liked Russia just fine before the war. Now they hate their neighbor.
- Holtby says he respectfully declines to go to the White House
