Rasmus Tantholdt (born 1973 in Aarhus) is a senior international correspondent for Danish broadcaster TV 2, covering wars and crises across more than 75 countries since 2003 - from Iraq and Afghanistan to Syria and Ukraine. He was the only Scandinavian journalist to remain in Kyiv during the critical opening weeks of Russia's 2022 invasion, and received the Danish Publicistpris that same year for his coverage. Alongside his TV work he has authored several books and gives live talks about life as a frontline correspondent.
