«Це була просто редакція, де працювали журналісти, оператори та монтажери». Як кремлівський режим свідомо атакує редакції в Україні
Росія, яка постійно порушує норми міжнародного гуманітарного права, правила та звичаї ведення війни, від початку повномасштабного вторгнення переслідує журналістів в Україні. Кремль усіляко намагається зупинити роботу медіа, які щодня розповідають правду про воєнні злочини РФ. Пропаганда країни-агресорки посилено працює, аби в українських містах панував інформаційний хаос.

«Миротворство» по-російськи: ракети на Дніпро, бомби на Слов'янськ
Поки світові лідери ведуть перемовини про «швидкий мир» в Україні, Росія докладає ще більше зусиль, щоб нищити українські мирні міста. Від початку тижня під інтенсивними обстрілами прифронтові Краматорськ, Слов'янськ та Херсон. У Дніпрі від ракетного удару загинули четверо мирних жителів. У ніч на 6 грудня в День святого Миколая росіяни масовано вдарили по Україні дронами та ракетами. Ворог продовжує модернізувати свою вбивчу зброю. Росіяни тепер оснащують «шахеди» ракетами класу «повітря-повітря», розповіла «Українська правда» з посиланням на фахівця з радіотехнологій Сергія (Флеша) Бескрестнова. Ці ракети призначені для ураження літаків тактичної авіації та вертольотів, які знешкоджують «шахеди».

“Such footage should be used at the trial in The Hague, but it is 'off limits' for publication in the media.” How Ukrainian documentary filmmakers defend the truth about the war
The full-scale war that began on February 24, 2022, is another episode of Russian aggression that has been going on for centuries with impunity.In response to the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the occupation of parts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, Russia received sanctions from the EU. However, this was not enough to stop the Kremlin authorities from occupying the whole of Ukraine. The Ukrainian people thwarted the Kremlin's aggressive plans - a small military operation that was supposed to last three days escalated into the largest armed conflict in Europe since World War II, which has been going on for more than three years.
