Defiance, patriotism and cool heads on show on the streets of Kyiv as threat of Russian invasion looms
CNN
On the walls of St. Michael's monastery in Kyiv, there is a graphic and sad reminder of the toll of eight years of conflict in eastern Ukraine.
A total of 4,480 faces stare into the frigid air -- the photographs of the servicemen and women who have died on the frontlines of a conflict of mud, trenches and abandoned villages that could have been conjured from 1917.
People gaze solemnly at those faces -- the sons and daughters stolen away -- as traffic churns through the winter slush. Snow piles up against the walls, and the golden domes of the monastery glint in a pale winter sun.

Jeffrey Epstein survivors are slamming the Justice Department’s partial release of the Epstein files that began last Friday, contending that contrary to what is mandated by law, the department’s disclosures so far have been incomplete and improperly redacted — and challenging for the survivors to navigate as they search for information about their own cases.
