CNN Inside Ukraine

 The attacks that Russia has had on Ukraine in the past few weeks have left the rest of the world on the world heart broken as Putin has sent in troops and multiple airstrikes into their country.

We have heard of multiple horrible deaths that have occurred in the past few weeks as innocent lives from Ukraine are being taken away because of an evil man's plan to take over the country.

We have seen all over social media and the television the hundreds of thousands of civilians crowding in underground subway stations that are now being used for bomb shelters.

CNN reporter Clarissa Ward is in all on the action in Ukraine as she has been in these shelters with the civilians the past few weeks.

Ward interrupted her live TV report on Ukrainian refugees to help a older man and a woman down a steep path all while she was speaking their native language. 

"People are so exhausted, they can barely walk," Ward told viewers. "It's just an awful, awful scene. And they're the lucky ones."

We have seen multiple journalists in the front lines of the war in Ukraine. 

Lynsey Addario, who is a photographer for the New York Times, captured images of a Russian mortar attack where the immediate outcome where the bodies of a mother and her two children crumpled on a road with their suitcase, backpacks, and pet carrier in hand.

War reporting is a "sense of mission, it's a sense of purpose, it's a sense of being able to tell a story," said Christaine Amanpour, the London-born chief international anchor for CNN. She always believes that women are just very good at it.

When covering catastrophic events like this, journalists put their own lives on the line to have that sense of mission and purpose, they are telling a story.
