## Resource

Ken Harbaugh sits down with Joe Plenzler to go behind the scenes of his latest Atlantic piece, "The Warrior-Witches of Ukraine's Resistance" — the story of Ukrainian women leading the underground fight against Russian occupation. Ken breaks down how the reporting came together, including the surreal moment a MeidasTouch Substack Live was used by the resistance itself to verify his identity.
