At the suggestion of a Chicago’s Ukrainian Community leader, I traveled to Washington, D.C. to cover four days of events surrounding the third anniversary of Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. On Monday and Tuesday I headed to Capitol Hill with the group as they lobbied senators and House members on behalf of Ukraine. Here are my thoughts about and images from Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.
At the suggestion of a high-ranking member of Chicago’s Ukrainian Community, I traveled to Washington, D.C. to cover four days of events surrounding the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. On Saturday, I attended the rally at the Lincoln Memorial, and then the demonstration in front of the Russian Ambassador’s residence. On Sunday, I attended a reception at Ukrainian House, and then witnessed the candlelight vigil in front of the Russian Embassy. In a subsequent post, I will discuss Monday and Tuesday’s lobbying effort.
I spent five days in Washington, D.C. covering the 2025 Trump Inauguration. I attended the People’s March on Saturday, tried to get into the Trump Victory Rally on Sunday, and attended a non-denominational service featuring the Reverend Al Sharpton on Monday—Trump had canceled the outdoor ceremony. Here are my thoughts from the weekend, together with my images.

Here are my thoughts about and observations from the festive evening.
