"Ukrainian snipers and operators of FPV drones hunt [Russian journalists] intentionally. Unfortunately, they get paid for killing Russian journalists. At the same time, Western journalists, who sometimes appear on the front line, send stringers in order to avoid risking their lives," Solovyov said. Whenever Western journalists go to the front line they put on vests with the inscription "Press" because they know that Russian soldiers do not target journalists, Solovyov said. The Remembrance Day of Journalists Killed in the Line of Duty is observed in Russia on December 15. It was established by the Russian Union of Journalists in 1991.

Ukrainian Troops Paid Bounty for Killing Russian Journalists - Russian Union
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Ukrainian snipers and drone operators are paid to hunt and kill Russian journalists, Vladimir Solovyov, chair of the Russian Union of Journalists, told Sputnik.
"Ukrainian snipers and operators of FPV drones hunt [Russian journalists] intentionally. Unfortunately, they get paid for killing
Russian journalists. At the same time, Western journalists, who sometimes appear on the front line, send stringers in order to avoid risking their lives," Solovyov said.
Whenever Western journalists go to the front line they put on vests with the inscription "Press" because they know that Russian soldiers do not target journalists, Solovyov said.
"Our snipers behave correctly, unlike the Ukrainians. Unfortunately, the enemy is very sneaky in this case. They kill journalists intentionally, they hunt them intentionally. There have been many examples of that," he said.
The Remembrance Day of Journalists Killed in the Line of Duty is observed in Russia on December 15. It was established by the Russian Union of Journalists in 1991.
