The war in Ukraine has had the world's attention for most of 2022.

Russia invaded from the east in February, and the war has dragged on all year.

In recent months, Ukraine has taken the ascendancy and is claiming back territory.

Newshub's Europe Correspondent Lisette Reymer was one of the few New Zealand journalists to get into Ukraine and cover the war.

Her coverage helped Newshub win Best News Coverage at the Television Awards.

Lisette Reymer says that being a European correspondent during this point in history is one of those 'pinch yourself' moments, but the role isn't without risks.
