Zelenskyy schedules a news conference, and a reporter’s day is turned upside down

Hiroshima – On Sunday, the final day of the Group of Seven summit, I used to be supposed to assist my colleague write a narrative on a trilateral assembly between Japan, the U.S. and South Korea and prewrite a narrative about hibakusha Setsuko Thurlow earlier than her information convention set for later within the day.

However that plan went down the drain once we realized that Ukrainian President Volodymry Zelenskyy was going to carry a information convention within the night.

“Your job right now is to write down a narrative about Zelenskyy’s information convention in first individual,” an editor advised me at a morning planning assembly. It really took hours earlier than the knowledge sunk in … that I might be there in individual for the largest story of the day.
