#1 When I served during Intifada I, I often fantasized about killing western journalists.

#2 The Russian dispute the charge:

A precise missile strike in Kramatorsk destroyed a hotel where Ukrainian Armed Forces militants and mercenaries were staying

The Russian Armed Forces launched a missile strike on a hotel in Kramatorsk (northern DPR), where Ukrainian Armed Forces militants and mercenaries were accommodated.

The enemy publishes footage of the aftermath of the strike.

The region's occupation authorities claim that foreign journalists were living there, two of whom were wounded.

#3 Because you can always trust the Russians, Bad.

I seem to remember a Chinese embassy that was struck a few years back that was denied up until it wasn't.

#5 Seems like the safety adviser's job wasn't very safe.

#6 killing western journalists

When I was in we had a saying that if you saw a soldier with an RPG pointed at you and a cameraman with a camera pointed at you, shoot the cameraman as their weapon does more damage.
