Just to clarify, 67 died worldwide. 12 out of those 67 died in Ukraine.

Gee, it's almost like Ukraine is a warzone due to being invaded by a country with a long history of killing journalists and a vested interest in preventing people from reporting the numerous war crimes they are currently committing.

Yeah I would say that because Russia claims that all of Ukrainian territory belongs to Russia, and Russia started an unjustified invasion, those statistics should say journalists were killed in Russia. Or at least by Russia.

Just to be clear, I of course do not support Russia’s claims. Just trying to show how ridiculous Russian logic is.

Honestly not much sympathy here. I never heard a vet say they didn't absolutely hate journalist in war, and that journalist didn't at times almost get them killed.

Just to clarify your clarification, 12 journalists died in Ukraine, some from different countries. Not 67 Ukrainian journalists dead worldwide.

Russia seemed to be actively hunting journalists at the beginning. I wonder if that's still the case.

Its a literal war. I am more concerned with the thousands of Ukrainians getting killed and maimed. Not the 1 journalist going to the front. Theres enough drone footage and capability of speaking via internet, no need to waste resources getting someone with little benefit to a war zone.

Yes none combatants causing combatants to risk their life to save their dumb ass is really needed. Absolutely not. War crimes happen, protocol gets broke. You don't need some bloke with a camera in the way.
