The European Commission has condemned the murder of journalists covering Russia's war against Ukraine: these crimes will not go unpunished.
A statement to this effect was made on Wednesday in Brussels by European Commission spokesman Eric Mamer.
"The Commission discussed (at the meeting) the situation in Ukraine, the needs (of the Ukrainian side) and the Commission's reaction to them. In this context, let me once again condemn in the strongest possible terms the attacks on civilians that take place on a daily basis, in particular the murders of Fox News journalist Pierre Zakrevsky and Alexandra Kuvshinova yesterday, literally the day after the murder of American journalist Brent Reno. These are crimes that cannot and will not go unpunished," he said.
As previously reported, Pierre Zakrevsky and Ukrainian journalist Alexandra Kuvshynova were killed on March 15 by artillery fire from the Russian military. Renaud was working on a project about refugees for Time magazine in Irpen and was killed by the Russian military on March 14.
