Fox News cameraman killed in Ukraine:

@ChadPergram

1) Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott: It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we share the news this morning regarding our beloved cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski. Pierre was killed in Horenka, outside of Kyiv, Ukraine.

2) Scott: Pierre was with Benjamin Hall yesterday newsgathering when their vehicle was struck by incoming fire. Pierre was a war zone photographer who covered nearly every international story for FOX News from Iraq to Afghanistan to Syria during his long tenure with us.

3) Scott: His passion and talent as a journalist were unmatched. Based in London, Pierre had been working in Ukraine since February.

RIP Pierre and Sasha. From our last correspondence: I will effort to get as much of this on TV to help Ukrainians in every way possible. Keep Smiling. Pierre

Ms. Ovsyannikova is a truly courageous person.

Protester with 'No War' sign walks onto Russian state TV set
The independent OVD-Info human rights group said the woman was named Marina Ovsyannikova and that she had been detained and taken into custody.
Her whereabouts and condition were unclear as of Tuesday morning.
Earlier this month, the Kremlin made it a crime punishable by a 15-year prison term for people to spread “fake news” and describe the Ukraine invasion as a “war.” (bolding mine)

It's unfortunate that going against the official narrative can be considered a criminal offense ; and as she has been taken into custody it appears her actions are considered by the authorities to be breaking the law ?

A 15-year sentence is a harsh punishment for speaking out.
My opinion.


I hope Marina will be alright.


Edited to add : Hopefully Marina will not receive a lengthy sentence, the media exposure about her case may be helpful ?

The standing ovation was amazing, it went on and on!
After much thought and soul wrangling (is that a thing?) i have reluctantly come to the opinion that we must impose a no fly zone, come what may- it is unfathomable at this point to simply bear witness to what the mad demon has released onto innocent people and i fear he will not stop at Ukraine. imo.

Just trying to figure out what kind of "alliance" this is.

Part of negotiations with Russia?

UPDATE: We’re facilitating the safe passage of civilians out of Sumy, #Ukraine.

Together with @RedCrossUkraine, we’ll lead two convoys of approximately 70 trucks.

We desperately hope this will help people leaving Sumy to reach a safe haven. https://t.co/WcC7sJSqbC

I do think that with the press conference of NATO and the 3 european leaders in ukraine is not a coincidence...
Pure speculation from my part,of course!

I agree. Plus, Canada and tomorrow the US.

There seem to be some cracks in the EU unity about the no fly zone issue, the three presidents visiting Zelensky...might have be pro it.....can't find a confirmed outlet right now....
