The Russian permanent mission to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) on Tuesday called on the OSCE representative on Freedom of the Media to respond to a series of "brutal reprisals" against Russian journalists. On Monday, three Russian media workers were killed in Ukraine's artillery attack on the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR), namely Izvestia correspondent Alexander Fedorchak, Zvezda cameraman Andrey Panov, and the driver of the film crew, Alexander Sirkeli. LPR head Leonid Pasechnik said that six people, including three media workers, had been killed as a result of artillery shelling of the Kremensky municipal district by the Ukrainian forces. If the OSCE doesn't take action, its silence will become an indicator of the extent to which the organization is able to fulfill its duties "impartially and in good faith," the statement added.

Russia Urges OSCE Media Freedom Representative to React to Killing of Journalists
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - On Wednesday, Russia's Channel One broadcaster stated that its military correspondent Anna Prokofieva died on duty in the Belgorod region, while cameraman Dmitry Volkov received serious injuries in the Kursk region, the acting governor said.
The Russian permanent mission to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) on Tuesday
called on the OSCE representative on Freedom of the Media to respond to a series of "brutal reprisals" against Russian journalists.
On Monday, three Russian media workers were killed in Ukraine's artillery attack on the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR), namely Izvestia correspondent Alexander Fedorchak, Zvezda cameraman Andrey Panov, and the driver of the film crew, Alexander Sirkeli. LPR head Leonid Pasechnik said that six people, including three media workers, had been killed as a result of artillery shelling of the Kremensky municipal district by the Ukrainian forces.
"We call on the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media Jan Braathu to respond appropriately to a series of brutal reprisals against Russian journalists, to advocate for the rights of journalists and the right to unhindered access to information," the mission said on Telegram.
If the OSCE doesn't take action, its silence will become an indicator of the extent to which the organization is able to fulfill its duties "impartially and in good faith," the statement added.
"The persistent inaction on the part of the OSCE, manifested in conscious silence or meaningless excuses, will become an indicator of the ability of the Office and the Organization as a whole to carry out impartially and in good faith the mandate entrusted to them by the participating states," the statement read.
