Harnwell: My pick from Year 1 — the suitcases of cash one MP’s wife tried to smuggle out of Ukraine

I was asked to pick my favourite story on the Ukraine war to mark the first anniversary. This was the one I chose:

An oligarch-politician’s wife is caught smuggling suitcases stashed with cash out of the country — as the West sends unaccounted for $billions in.

This story was memory-holed so fast I suffered whiplash just from watching it happen.
