Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began three years ago this week. In that time, FRONTLINE and our partners have investigated Russian President Vladimir Putin’s grievances with the West, the circumstances that led up to his invasion of Ukraine, the grim toll the fighting has taken on civilians and more. As this conflict marks a somber milestone, explore a collection of our coverage: to.pbs.org/3DhWmy5

It has been three years since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. FRONTLINE and The @AP’s 2023 documentary “20 Days in Mariupol” offers a visceral, first-person account of what the besieged city of Mariupol endured during the first weeks of Russia’s siege. to.pbs.org/4k9OOOx

FRONTLINE investigates the deadliest American wildfire in a century, and the missed warnings that made it so unstoppable. The documentary examines the fire’s causes, the chaotic response, and how changes to the climate and landscape have made Maui increasingly vulnerable to fires.

China just freed 3 American prisoners. But it is holding many Chinese citizens on unjust charges. Yuyu Dong, a former @Harvard Nieman fellow, is the most prominent journalist being detained in mainland China. How will the Trump administration handle this? nytimes.com/2023/04/24/world…

A Chinese court sentenced a high-ranking editor and columnist for a major Communist Party newspaper to seven years in prison on espionage charges on Friday. Dong Yuyu was arrested in 2022 while having lunch with a Japanese diplomat. nyti.ms/49jo7Cc

China sends a message to the world with this harsh sentencing — telling them that anyone engaging in people-to-people exchanges could be labeled a spy. Dong Yuyu, 62, was a respected journalist and @Harvard fellow doing ordinary meetings with diplomats and foreign journalists.

A State Dept. official says China has released three imprisoned American citizens: Mark Swidan, Kai Li and John Leung. The official says all Americans designated by the State Dept. as wrongfully detained in China are now free and will soon be reunited with their families.

Should journalists “help protect their country’s 2½-century-old democratic experiment, which also protects the existence of their craft? That requires braving the ire & denunciations of Republicans long conditioned to scream bias.” By @JohnJHarwood niemanreports.org/articles/w…
