The clampdown on #mediafreedom in #Russia & #Belarus is an attempt to silence all independent voices, leading to media & information spaces that are "almost completely controlled" by the regimes. @OSCE_RFoM

Many States host journalists fleeing persecution & war. We are committed to facilitating relocation & safe environment to enable media outlets, journalists & media workers to continue their important work in exile.

One year ago, on 1 March 2022, 🇷🇺 armed forces shelled the Kyiv TV tower, killing five people including camera operator #YevheniiSakun. #Russia must abide by international law to protect #mediafreedom and the #SafetyOfJournalists.

@sojosce

One year ago - on March 1, Russian military forces shelled TV tower in Kyiv, Ukraine, killing five people. It is important to protect #mediafreedom. Safety of journalists and media workers must be protected. #SafetyofJournalists

[Sweden in the OSCE 🇸🇪 @SwedeninATOSCE]

One year ago, Russia shelled the Kyiv TV Tower, killing 5 people incl. camera operator Yevhenii Sakun. Many journalists & media actors have been deliberately targeted, killed, abducted, injured & tortured. Russia must abide by international law & protect the #SafetyOfJournalists.

[Denmark in Austria @Denmark_in_AT]

Today, the OSCE Group of Friends on #SafetyOfJournalists @sojosce commemorate the victims of Russia’s shelling of a TV tower in Kyiv on 1 March last year. All journalists and media actors must be protected in line with #OSCE and international commitments.

Exactly one year ago, Russia shelled a TV tower in Kyiv, which killed 5 people, including camera operator #YevheniiSakun. Montenegro strongly condemns the targeted killings, abduction and torture of journalists and media actors in Ukraine by the Russian Armed Forces.

[Netherlands at OSCE @NLOSCE]

[Germany in the OSCE @GER_OSCE]

One year ago - on March 1, #Russia’s forces shelled the TV tower in Kyiv, killing 5 people incl. camera operator Yevhenii Sakun. We honor the victims.

Russia must stop the killing & abide by international humanitarian law, incl. the #SafetyOfJournalists & media workers.

@DJVde

[Lithuanian Mission in Vienna @LT_OSCE]

A camera operator #YevheniiSakun, murdered on 1st March 2022 during an attack on Kyiv TV tower, was just a first of many journalists killed by Russia's armed forces. Deliberately targeting journalists is a war crime that must not remain unpunished.
#SafetyOfJournalists @sojosce

[Lithuanian Mission in Vienna @LT_OSCE]

Lithuania's🇱🇹 Ambassador V. Verba just deliver the @sojosce statement at OSCE PC, highlighting the need to protect journalists in war zones and calling 🇷🇺 to end attacks on independent media & journalists providing trustworthy, fact-based information on 🇷🇺 aggression against 🇺🇦.

[France at OSCE 🇫🇷🇪🇺 @RP_France_OSCE]

Joint statement of the Group of Friends on #SafetyofJournalists

We applaud the courage of #journalists & media actors who strive to provide unbiased information from zones of conflict & appreciate @OSCE_RFoM's clear stance regarding 🇷🇺's unjustified aggression against #Ukraine.

[GoFSoJ @OSCE @sojosce]

#Russia’s war against 🇺🇦 is a tragic illustration of the vulnerability of journalists in armed conflict.

Today, we will hear from first hand sources on the dangers faced by journalists covering the war in #Ukraine and how #OSCE countries can support them.
