Quick summary:
1. I arrived in Ukraine in the first week of January amid US warnings of a Russian invasion and headed to the front line in the east before settling for over a month in Mariupol.
2. I was one of the only international journalists to remain in Mariupol after the invasion, but regular missile attacks and editors' safety fears meant it was difficult to report.
3. We – me, two Czech journalists and a Turkish photographer – escaped out of the last open checkpoint in Mariupol, manned by a single Ukrainian soldier who warned that he had no idea what lay ahead

2. I got there because I know basically what agencies bill our time to clients at anywhere from $95 for small agencies and small clients up to around $200 for holding company agencies and big corporate clients.
3. This gives me a rough day rate for that particular project, which I multiply with how many days I think the work would take to get the fixed cost/fee that I share with the client
