We were allowed to travel with a shipment of military supplies into Ukraine. Conditions: we not reveal the location, no Ukrainian fighters who didn’t want to participate would be shown.

We made into the restricted town of Chuhuiv, which has been crouching for months with Russian occupiers camped six miles away. The Russians ran away and, well, if you've never seen people sweeping up blast debris with tears of joy...it's something.

The Russians dropped their weapons on the ground. They dressed as villagers to dodge the drones. They stole bicycles and cars. And other things Ukrainians in a just-liberated village told us about the flight of the occupiers.

Biden has moved the idea of an independent Palestine back to the center of American diplomacy. So three Post reporters and a photographer traveled Rt. 60 along the spine of the West Bank to see how conditions for that are now.

I have to agree with Joe Heim that Bryce Harper is way too nice of a person to be subjected to the Philly fan base. And I think Joe is also right that Bryce would not do well in that corrupt, corrosive culture of negativity. But like Joe, fingers crossed that he can help some!

As a lifelong @Phillies fan, who goes to a lot of Nationals game, I really hope the rumors of the Phillies signing Harper aren’t true. I don’t think he’s a good fit for the team/city. But if they do sign him, I hope I’m proved 100 percent wrong.
