Summary
The front-line journalists in Ukraine face escalating threats as Russia targets nearby hotels housing reporters with precision weapons like ballistic and cruise missiles. Since 2022, at least 24 journalists have been injured and one killed in these attacks. Reporters Without Borders and Truth Hounds have highlighted this as a broader strategy to deter independent journalism, forcing many now to seek refuge in rented apartments or face long travel times due to safety concerns.
