⚡️ Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s comment on the killing of Russian journalist Boris Maksudov

💬 On November 22, the Kiev regime gunmen deliberately attacked a group of Russian journalists with a drone carrying a fragmentation shell. The journalists were working on a report about Ukrainian shelling of civilian targets in the Zaporozhye Region. The next day, military correspondent Boris Maksudov succumbed to his wounds.

🕯 First and foremost, we express our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Boris Maksudov and those of all media professionals who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

The criminal Kiev regime continues to consider Russian journalists and war correspondents as priority targets, and is hunting them down. Despicably, it targets unarmed correspondents, photographers, and cameramen. The regime employs blatantly terrorist methods to eliminate them, without fearing any criticism from its Western curators or biased human rights organisations. They flaunt their actions.

❗️ The brutal killing of Boris Maksudov is yet another heinous crime committed by the neo-Nazi Kiev regime, which bears responsibility for the deaths of many thousands of innocent civilians. We are confident that this crime will not go unpunished, and the culprits will not escape fair and lawful retribution.
