Russian journalists working in Ukraine will get body armor


“I bought bronchikas and helmets for my personal savings. 50 kits. I told Russian journalists, who were risking their lives, to the forefront of the truth, ”Rogozin told Facebook.

Earlier in Kommersant it was reported that the Russian Military-Industrial Commission will issue to journalists, going to the hot spots of Ukraine, helmets and body armor.

“By the decision of the Deputy Prime Minister, Chairman of the Military Industrial Commission Dmitry O. Rogozin, individual journalists will be given sets of personal protective equipment, including body armor and a helmet, to journalists covering the hot spots, adding that the sets will be given to leading Russian television channels, news agencies and national newspapers.

It is worth recalling that recently the crew of Channel One came under fire from mortars near Lugansk. 17 Junior VGTRK correspondent Igor Korneliuk died on the operating table, who was seriously injured. Later it became known that video engineer Anton Voloshin died on the same day.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a telephone conversation with President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko about the need to ensure the safety of correspondents. In addition, the Russian Foreign Ministry demanded an international investigation into the death of journalists near Lugansk.

    The normal practice of journalists working in "hot spots" ... is long overdue ... many journalists have equipped themselves before such trips, understanding the risks of accidental fragments and bullets.

      Broniki is good, but they won’t save if you are targeted for a targeted hunt and they will shoot at you from a large-caliber mortar, a blessed memory to journalists who died in Ukraine

      .. It is high time

      You have seen the live reports of our journalists from Slavyansk, Kramatorsk, or where else, they are all in armor and most of them are wearing helmets.
      Companies have enough money to buy it all by themselves, and indeed it is.
      Rogozin next PR himself zafigachil.

        Rogozin did what he could not (did not want to?) Do for his media editorial staff. Thanks to him! I would not consider this gesture "PR": he already has a good image of a patriot.
        To protect journalists, the proper organization of their work on the spot is important: security, mobility, and secrecy. Well, healthy brains in the head to measure the degree of risk with its necessity.

        Let it be "PR", but this statement also once again draws attention to what is happening in the Donbass ...

      If the state and editorial offices cannot provide their correspondents with safe equipment, then, of course, a private initiative comes into play. But, as they say, it’s a shame for the power.

      Normal practice is when the employer provides his employees with equipment and the same insurance.
      This is precisely what trade unions should do, forcing employers to fulfill all these conditions. And we have trade unions with leadership in kents, and from here we collect money all over the world to help the families of the victims.
      Instead of public relations, Rogozin would have paid attention to this problem.

      the larger the office, the more tight. rather, according to .. for an employee, the main thing that would do the job, but if something happens, then of course there are internal commissions and investigations and meetings of managers from the department and above and blah blah blah with a smart look. everywhere such a mess. so no wonder.

    Forgive me, a little off topic ... Now in the news on TV they said with indignation that "the terrorists destroyed the checkpoint, fired from tanks ..." So it's true about tanks.
    Well, good luck to Russian journalists! It would be nice to have international groups to have some European journalists with the Russians. Then the "authorities" in Ukraine and the EU would have jumped.

      We will immediately see what "journalistic solidarity" is worth. As far as we know, after the death of the Italian, they were blown away by the wind.

    “I bought armor plates and helmets for my personal savings. 50 sets. I handed it over to Russian journalists, who are risking their lives for climbing the truth to the forefront, ”Rogozin said

    This is certainly good, but I wonder if our TV channels are so poor that they send journalists to hot spots without means of protection (for how much money is spent on all kinds of shows like "House 2")

    I understand a lot of things, but it’s not worth it to turn the likeness of Ukrov’s Internet and Facebook politicians into ours, I bought it so bought, why Facebook, and yet, what kind of editorial office, which sends OWN correspondents to the war, does not want to ensure their safety? and they have to get armor from Rogozin.
    Moreover, PROFESSIONAL correspondents covering "hot" spots are ALWAYS in protective equipment, and wherever the report comes from, a normal journalist is always in armor.

    On his page Rogozin wrote: “50 sets of helmets and body armor were purchased and handed over to Russian journalists who are in the war zone.” He was also asked on the page whether the same kits would be bought for civilians who found themselves in the war zone. “What do you want me to buy for all residents of Eastern Ukraine, and will you provide me with financial assistance?”, - suggested Rogozin.
    “You scold politicians for populism, and here you write off such statements ... Populist voters will always have the appropriate power for them,” - he concluded.
    Dmitry, not civilians, but militias!

    This is not a panacea. Neither helmets nor armor can be saved if they put their eyes on you. Where are these human rights defenders from Europe ?! If they would impose harsh sanctions against Kiev for shelling the press, everything would have stopped long ago. Well, let it be at least if this does not give an occasion shoot more, with an excuse, we thought a militia, in a helmet and armor, and in the hands of an RPG.

    It would be better if the militias gave the reservation. Two reporters were killed, a week they blow on the channels (it’s a pity of course), but the fact that volunteers die in the hundreds is a matter of course ...

      Ultimately, we must admit that fighters with weapons, defending their homeland and massively perishing, are much more important than the 1-4th (or 8th) authorities. The authorities only serve the people. And this should be done more modestly, without undue PR, not tryndet about their merits on every corner and every day. I am sorry for the relatives of the dead journalists.

      One hundred percent, it’s cheap. The employees of the TV channels should be provided with the channels themselves, which is logical, after all.
      I understand that if Rogozin had bought ammunition for militias on his own hard-earned money. And I would be proud of this act is well deserved.

    in fact, this is the direct responsibility of the employer, i.e. the leadership of a given media is obliged when sending a journalist on a business trip to a hot spot to ensure his safety, including personal protective equipment, therefore, appropriate amendments to the law on mass media should be introduced ... hi
