Cada mes, en la columna «Nuestro invitado o invitada sorpresa» presentamos a una figura pública cuyo trabajo y compromiso se consideran una fuente de inspiración. Su coraje, firmeza de carácter, determinación para actuar sirven de ejemplo y su valentía como profesional merece nuestro respeto.
Esta vez, nuestra invitada es Tetyana Ogarkova, periodista ucraniana responsable del departamento internacional del Ukraine Crisis Media Center y copresentadora del podcast Explaining Ukraine. También es profesora ayudante de la Universidad Mohyla de Kiev y doctora en Letras por la Université Paris-XII Val-de-Marne.
Tetyana interviene a menudo como invitada en programas de televisión y emisiones de radio del mundo entero, en los que describe el drama del pueblo ucraniano y comenta con perspicacia esta tragedia humana.
En esta edición especial de CESEinfo, comparte con nuestros lectores su testimonio personal, que es aún más contundente dado que nos escribe desde una Ucrania asediada, atormentada y heroica que no ha abandonado pese a la guerra. (eh)
