War Сorrespondents

Overview

Everyday war correspondents travel to the most dangerous zones of Donbass. Though journalists have no military education, it’s vital to understand how to behave under shelling and be familiar with weapons. In 2014 a reporter, Evgeny Poddubny, went to cover the conflict in Donbass. For Evgeny and his colleagues, reporting the true story is more than just a job. They must be ready to perform their task quickly and with no second chances. Journalists often have to sleep in the streets and take turns guarding each other. They cannot stay at hotels as Ukrainian missiles regularly strike these buildings though they house civilians and journalists. How do war correspondents manage to perform their job in such harsh conditions?
