"From the first days of Russia's full-scale invasion, they covered the situation in the region, reported the truth about enemy crimes, civilian evacuations and stories of our defenders," Filashkin wrote on Telegram. "They worked in Donetsk'Oblast’s hottest spots, always first on the scene. It's hard to believe it happened to them... This is a heavy loss for the region and all of us."

According to the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine, at least 133 media workers have been killed since the invasion began, including 10 civilians and 104 who mobilized to defend Ukraine in the armed forces.
