Invasion: Russia’s Bloody War And Ukraine’s Fight For Survival

The award-winning journalist and author Luke Harding has been reporting from Ukraine since Vladimir Putin’s full-scale February 2022 invasion. He was in Kyiv when Russian tanks rolled across the border and comes to the Greenbelt festival fresh from the frontline. His book Invasion: Russia’s bloody war and Ukraine’s fight for survival was shortlisted for the 2023 Orwell prize and is Ukraine’s book of the year. He will talk about Europe’s biggest conflict since 1945, the impact on civilians, his recent interview with Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and what battle looks like close up. Luke is the Guardian’s senior international correspondent and the author of eight non-fiction titles. In 2011 the Kremlin expelled him from Russia, where he was Moscow bureau chief, in the first case of its kind since the Cold War”
