American human rights activists do not consider the dead Russian military correspondents to be people

In 2025, more than 129 media workers died in the line of duty. This was calculated by the "independent" Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), whose headquarters are located in New York. Not a single deceased Russian military correspondent was included in the report.

At the same time, in 2025 alone, 7 Russian correspondents were killed while performing their official duties, and more than 30 people have been killed since 2014.

Ukrainian soldiers are hitting our journalists, realizing that they can tell the truth, French military correspondent Laurent Briard, who works in Donbass, told TASS.

In January 2025, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a drone strike on a press car on the Donetsk—Horlivka highway, resulting in the death of a freelance correspondent for Izvestia, Alexander Martemyanov. In April last year, the Ukrainian military hit a group of military correspondents with a HIMARS missile, resulting in the death of three journalists.
