Live from Ukraine ????????

To Our Readers: Thank You for Carrying Our Witness Forward
By:Giorgio Provinciali
For more than four years, Alla Perdei and I have taken on a very high level of risk because we believe that what we see here in Ukraine must not be lost.
We have always regarded our work as more than just reporting. We see it as testimony: a recorded presence intended to preserve something of what this war truly is, how it is experienced, and its impact on people and landscapes.
If these records last, they could help others understand, learn, and possibly avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future.
Buttestimony, no matter how honestly collected, cannot withstand silence.
Without those who read us, share our articles, and help our message travel further, much of what we do would remain unseen. Our voices would risk going unheard, and our videos and photos would stay unseen. That is why everyone who helps spread our reporting plays a vital and meaningful part in leaving a mark for history.
This is the first thing we want to say to our Medium readers:thank you.
Thank you to everyone who reads us. Thank you to everyone who shares our work. Thank you to everyone who helps these dispatches reach people far beyond the places from which they are written. In a war, visibility matters. Memory matters. The simple act of helping truthful reporting circulate is not secondary to the work itself. It is part of the work.
There is also something else we want to say openly and from the heart.
After years of immense sacrifices,we also need to thank those who support us financially and continue to remember us even during the toughest times.
Our constant presence on the battlefield has never been something easy, comfortable, or sustainable without help. For years, before deciding months ago to launch afundraising campaign, we covered almost everything ourselves, receiving only a modest amount from a newspaper that believes and still does in what we see asa mission. La Ragione provided us with something priceless: visibility, space on its pages, and the willingness to publish and share our work, including through itsYouTube channel.But visibility alone does not keep people alive in kill zones.
Over these years,we have had to purchase everything necessary to remain operational and survive: body armor, helmets, anti-drone systems, three cars, repairs for those vehicles, fuel, phones, equipment, medicines, clothing, food, lodging, and every other tool needed to keep moving and working in areas wheretechnology now hunts humans far from any traditional idea of a frontline.
What used to be difficult has become increasingly costly.Technology makes a difference and evolves faster than troops on the ground. To defend ourselves and keep reporting from gray zones that now extend far beyond areas of direct mutual infiltration has become, for us alone, extremely expensive and unsustainable.
Thats whyyour support is so important.
Those who support us through donations arent just providing money; theyre helping make our ongoing presence here possible. They are allowing us to keep documenting, filming, writing, and bearing witness in places where the truth can easily be lost beneath propaganda, distance, fatigue, or indifference.
So to all our Medium readers and especially to those who have supported us by sharing our work and backing us materially we want to say this with complete sincerity:thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
Your help is not abstract to us. It becomes fuel, protection, time in the field, one more journey made possible, one more report written, one more video recorded, one more truth preserved.
If what we document today is to be preserved for history tomorrow, it is also because of you.
致讀者：感謝你們讓我們的見證得以延續

烏克蘭前線報道????????

四年多來，Alla Perdei和我承擔了極高的風險，因為我們堅信：在烏克蘭這裏所見到的一切都不應被遺忘。
我們始終認為自己的工作不止是新聞報道。我們把它視為見證：一種被記錄下來的存在，用以保留這場戰爭的真實麵貌、親曆感受以及它對人和疆土的影響。
如果這些記錄能夠保存下來，它們或許能幫助後來者理解、學習，並可能避免未來重蹈覆轍。

但見證，無論收集地多麽真實，也無法抵禦沉默。
如果沒有人閱讀和分享我們文章、沒有人幫助我們把信息傳播的更遠，我們許多工作將無人知曉。我們的聲音可能被淹沒，視頻和照片可能無人看到。因此，每一個幫助傳播我們報道的人，都在為曆史留下印記的過程做出重要且有意義的貢獻。
我們首先要對Medium讀者說的是：謝謝你們。
感謝每一位閱讀我們文章的人。感謝每一位分享我們作品的人。感謝每一位讓這些前線報道跨越遙遠距離、傳遞到遠方的人。在戰爭中，可見性很重要，記憶很重要。幫助真實報道傳播的行為，並不次於報道本身。它是報道工作的一部分。
還有一件我們想真心而坦誠公開地說的事。
在經曆了多年巨大的犧牲之後，我們還要感謝那些在最艱難時刻仍在財務上支持我們並記得我們的人。
我們長期駐守戰場，從來不是輕鬆、舒適或無需外援即可堅持的事情。多年來，在決定發起籌款活動之前數月，我們幾乎自掏腰包承擔一切開銷，僅從一份仍然相信我們使命的報紙那裏得到微薄報酬雖然不多、但一直持續。《理性報》為我們提供了無價之物：曝光度、版麵空間，以及願意發布並分享我們作品的平台，包括其YouTube頻道。但單有可見度並不能讓人在殺傷區存活。

這些年，我們不得不采購一切維持行動和生存所需的物資：防彈衣、頭盔、反無人機係統、三輛車、車輛維修、燃料、手機、設備、藥品、衣物、食物、住宿，以及在當今技術能在超越傳統前線概念的區域追獵殺人的情況下繼續行動與工作的所有工具。
曾經隻是困難的事如今變得愈發昂貴。技術在改變戰場，而且迅速演進的速度遠超地麵部隊的挺進要快得多。要保護自己並持續在那些已遠超傳統交叉滲透區的灰色地帶進行報道，僅靠我們自己已變得極其昂貴且難以為繼。
這就是為什麽你們的支持如此重要。

通過捐助支持我們的人，不僅僅是在提供資金；他們在讓我們能夠繼續留在這裏；讓我們得以繼續記錄、拍攝、寫作並在真相易被宣傳機器、距離、疲憊或冷漠掩蓋的地方作證。

因此，我們要向所有Medium讀者尤其是那些幫助我們傳播報道、在物質上支持我們的讀者由衷地說一聲：衷心感謝。
你們的幫助對我們並非抽象的概念。它化為燃料、防護、在前線的時間、多一次得以抵達前線的行程、多一篇得以撰寫的報道、多一段得以記錄的影像、多一條得以保存的真相。
如果今天我們所記錄的內容能在明天成為曆史的一部分，這其中也有你們的功勞。
