From a Wall Street Journal review by Benjamin Shull of the book by Yevgenia Belorusets titled “War Diary”:

“The war has begun. It is after midnight. I will hardly be able to fall asleep, and there is no point in trying to calculate what has changed forever.” So wrote Yevgenia Belorusets from Kyiv in the early hours of Friday, Feb. 25, 2022, at the outset of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Her diary entry on the war’s opening salvo was the first of around 40 that have now been collected and published together in “War Diary,” an essential document of the Ukrainian people’s experience of the conflict.
