"We mourn the news of the death of journalist Brent Renaud. His fatal shooting near Irpin, reportedly by Russian forces while trying to cross a checkpoint to cover fleeing Ukrainian civilians, is a tragic reminder of the costs and stakes for journalists covering war and attacks on civilians. That so many journalists -- local and foreign, freelancer and staffer are putting their health, lives and livelihoods on the line in order to cover the human costs of Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a reminder to the world of why a free and independent press is so important and worthy of protection and support. Under international humanitarian law, journalists are noncombatants. We call for an investigation into the killing of Brent Renaud as a possible war crime."

"The journalism coming out of Ukraine is very impressive and a reminder to all of why the role of an independent press is so vital during times of war. Through the courage and skill of Ukrainian, European, American, and other foreign journalists covering Russia's invasion of Ukraine, we are better able to see and understand what is happening to the Ukrainian people as they fight for their democracy. With the Kremlin's censorship tactics and media crackdown reaching depths not seen since the darkest days of the Cold War, it's apparent that the battle for public opinion could be just as consequential for the future of Ukraine as the military and humanitarian assistance that Kyiv is seeking. And a free and unencumbered press -- supported by adequately equipped and resourced newsrooms -- is at the center of determining whether the public receives the facts about what is happening in Ukraine or disinformation and spin.

Key Points: 
  • "We are greatly concerned by reports of a growing number of incidents of journalists coming under fire by Russian forces.
  • Russian troops took his passport, gear and $3,000 in cash before allowing him to drive off for medical attention.
  • International humanitarian law states that in times of conflict, journalists are to be treated with all of the same rights and protections as civilians.
