Former Royal Marine Commando turned reporter Emile Ghessen finds himself under Russian mortar fire while he surveys the evacuation of civilians from Irpin.

If you're not already following Emile Ghessen on Facebook, you're missing out on one of the greatest independent war reporters of our generation. Not only is he a warfighter who experienced the Global War on Terror first-hand, serving time as a British Royal Marine Commando, he's covered down on every major conflict since the rise of the Islamic State.

Recently, his documentary film 45 Days, A Fight for a Nation was nominated for an academy award, and it was his steadfast reporting under fire that got him there. Go give him a follow, because he's on the ground in Ukraine as we speak, and knowing Emile, he's bound to end up embedded with a Ukrainian tank Hunter Killer team before this conflict ends.
