As of November 5, 2024, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion by the russian federation of the territory of Ukraine, the occupiers had killed at least 103 media workers.
According to the verified data provided by the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine (NUJU) and the International Federation of Journalists, among those killed were 18 media persons who were performing their professional duties; nine media workers registered as civilian victims, and 76 media representatives mobilized for the defense of Ukraine to the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
“If russia had not unleashed this shameful war, all our colleagues, journalists, and media workers could continue to work successfully, create quality information content for their audience, write articles, make reports, and shoot TV stories and documentaries. They could benefit people and contribute to Ukrainian and world culture,” says NUJU President Sergiy Tomilenko. “But the aggressor state decided they should die leaving their families in severe grief, people uninformed, deceived by russian propaganda and intimidated.”
