List of journalists killed during the Russo-Ukrainian War

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

See also: List of journalists killed in Ukraine and List of journalists killed in Russia

As of 16 May 2023[needs update], at least 17 civilian journalists and media workers have been killed in the line of duty since the Russo-Ukrainian War began in 2014. Six have been Russian, four Ukrainian, one Italian, one American, one Lithuanian, one Irish and three French.

An initial wave of journalist fatalities occurred in the early stages of the war in Donbas in 2014, starting with Italian journalist Andrea Rocchelli and his interpreter, Russian activist Andrei Mironov. In the following four months, four Russian journalists in the company of Russian separatist forces were killed by Ukrainian fire, as was one Ukrainian journalist in an incident that both sides in the conflict blamed on each other. Two pairs of killings led to legal proceedings: In Rocchelli and Mironov's deaths, Ukrainian National Guard member Vitalii Markiv was tried in Italy for allegedly ordering the strike. He was convicted but later exonerated. In the deaths of Russian journalists Igor Kornelyuk and Anton Voloshin by mortar strike, captured Ukrainian Army pilot Nadiya Savchenko was tried in Russia for allegedly ordering the strike. She was convicted and subsequently freed in a prisoner exchange with Ukraine. The relationship between Russian journalists and separatist forces became a subject of controversy.[1]

A second wave of deaths began with the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Yevhenii Sakun, a Ukrainian, was the first journalist killed in that phase of the war, a victim of a Russian airstrike on the Kyiv TV Tower on 1 March 2022. Six more journalists have been killed by Russian soldiers, including four shot and one killed by shelling. The dead include American documentarian Brent Renaud, Ukrainian photojournalist Maks Levin, and most recently Lithuanian documentarian Mantas Kvedaravičius.

In addition, at least six Ukrainian journalists have been killed outside the line of duty or under ambiguous circumstances and at least seven journalists have been killed while serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine or the Russian separatist forces in Donbas.

Roguelon stated that they were then targeted with 40 to 60 mortars.[8][9]

In July 2019, an Italian court convicted Vitalii Markiv, an Italian-Ukrainian dual citizen and an officer in the National Guard of Ukraine, of directing the strike that killed Rocchelli and Mironov.[10] Markiv's conviction was overturned in November 2020,[11] a decision made final by the Supreme Court of Cassation in December 2021.[12]

Both men were posthumously awarded the Russian Order of Courage by Vladimir Putin.[16]

Nadiya Savchenko, a Ukrainian army helicopter pilot, was captured by separatists the same day and was accused of directing the mortar strike.[17] She claimed that she had rather been captured an hour before the attack.[18] Savchenko was convicted by a Russian court on 21 March 2016,[19] in what Amnesty International characterized as a "flawed, deeply politicized trial".[20] She was pardoned by Vladimir Putin as a result of a prisoner swap for two Russian soldiers two months later.[21]

Their deaths were not announced until ten days after his. The Interpreter magazine, a publication of the Institute of Modern Russia, suggested that Russia was trying to obscure the connection between Stenin and militia members.[1] Ukrainian journalist Yuriy Butusov [uk] described Stenin as a "zampolit of Strelkov" rather than a journalist.[1]

Stenin was posthumously awarded the Order of Courage by Vladimir Putin.[26]
