During a NATO press conference, President Trump showed interest in the personal situation of a BBC Ukrainian Service reporter, Myroslava Petsa, asking whether her husband was a soldier in Ukraine.

Petsa asked whether the US would be supplying Patriot air defence systems to Ukraine. Trump responded by expressing sympathy for her situation, saying
"I wish you a lot of luck. I can see that this is very upsetting to you, and say hello to your husband."
A Grim Outlook
Trump's inquiry into Petsa's husband underscores the personal nature of war, which can be all-encompassing and intimately devastating. It underscores the importance of news reporting by people directly impacted by these events.
