Photographs by David GuttenfelderWritten by Peter RobinsDavid Guttenfelder traveled along Ukraine's northeastern border twice in the months before Russian troops arrived.June 7, 2024The invaders had not returned. Not yet. But along about 600 miles of Ukraine's northeastern border territory that The New York Times visited late last year and again in early spring, the war has never ended.Much of this area, in the Kharkiv and Sumy regions, was once agricultural land. Now a farm housed an anti-saboteur unit – made up of anti-Putin Russians, to prevent sending Ukrainian troops into Russia – preparing before dawn for a cross-border raid.The fields are too exposed to Russian fire for anyone to attempt to harvest. Instead, they are littered with "dragon's teeth," concrete anti-tank...

Hunter Biden, the president's son, is on trial in federal court for falsely claiming in a gun application that he had not used illicit drugs. Testimonies from his ex-wife and his ex-girlfriends describe his drug-fueled character; searching for his drug dealer on the streets; his large cash withdrawals from the bank.Hallie Biden, his brother Beau's widow who was dating him in the fall of 2018 when the gun purchase occurred, spoke of his erratic behavior, possession of rocks of crack and cocaine "the size of ping-pong balls, or bigger, maybe” and how she frantically urged him to go to rehab. She, like Mr. Biden, is in recovery.I write about addiction for the New York Times and have spoken to countless families who have shared harrowing experiences. I'm working on an article a...

And then it quickly resonated on the Internet.An American World War II veteran in a blue beret, sitting in a wheelchair with a blue blanket draped over his knees, was introduced to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky by Justin Trudeau, the Canadian prime minister.“You are the savior of the people,” veteran Melvin Hurwitz, 99, of Frederick, Maryland, told Zelensky after hugging the Ukrainian leader. “You bring tears to my eyes.”“No, no, no, you saved Europe,” Zelensky replied.“You are our hero,” said Mr. Hurwitz, whose identity was confirmed by a great-granddaughter, Sarah H...
