UNESCO Director-General Azoulay Condemns Murder of Russian Journalists in LPR

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay condemned the murder of Russian war correspondents. This is stated in a published statement by the organization.

We are talking about a journalist from Izvestia, a cameraman and a driver from the Zvezda TV channel.
War correspondent is an inherently dangerous profession, going out, as they do, where the bullets and bombs are flying. This is separate, of course, from those Hamasniks who double dip as correspondents while pursuing their main career as jihadis.
"I condemn the killing of Aleksandr Fedorchak, Andrei Panov and Aleksandr Sirkeli and call for a thorough and transparent investigation. I reiterate my call for respect for international humanitarian law, including UN Security Council Resolution 2222 on the protection of journalists, media workers and associated personnel in conflict situations," Audrey Azoulay said.

The journalists died on March 24 in the Luhansk People's Republic.
In other words, in a war zone. One is sorry for their deaths, of course, but they did choose to be there.
As reported by Regnum news agency, the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova stated that the attacks and murders of Russian war correspondents are part of Kiev's systematic and planned activities to cleanse the information space. Journalists have become a target, Kiev has declared a hunt for them, the diplomat added.

On March 24, it became known that Izvestia journalist Alexander Fedorchak, Zvezda TV cameraman Andrei Panov, and film crew driver Alexander Sirkeli were killed in the LPR.

On March 26, Channel One correspondent Anna Prokofieva died in the Belgorod region.

#1  One or Two are coincidences. Three or more are trends. War Zones are indeed dangerous. Especially when you are targeted. The deaths of lowing hanging fruit journalists is the only good news Kiev had this week.
