Two Fox News Journalists Killed Covering Ukraine Invasion as Russia Doubles Down on Media Repression

HeadlineMar 16, 2022

Two Fox News journalists — camera operator Pierre Zakrzewski and producer Oleksandra Kuvshynova — were killed earlier this week when their vehicle was struck outside Kyiv. Fox News correspondent Benjamin Hall was injured in the attack and hospitalized; Ukrainians officials say he lost part of his leg. At least five media professionals have been killed since the start of the invasion three weeks ago.

Meanwhile, Russian TV producer Marina Ovsyannikova was released Tuesday after being fined for calling on Russians to join antiwar protests in a prerecorded video. On Monday, she burst onto the set of a live Russian news broadcast yelling “Stop the war,” while holding a sign that said, “They’re lying to you here.”
