Nadiya Sukhorukova is a journalist from Mariupol. During the city’s siege, she kept an online diary whose excerpts were read in the European Parliament and at UK charity events. Her words inspired a play in Vilnius, and her writings were published in outlets like the New York Times, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Voice of America, among others.
