[NY Post] Oh noes! Now Putin's done it!
An award-winning journalist who was a former New York Times contributor has been killed by Russian forces near Kyiv, the region’s head of police said Sunday.
Walter Duranty: "Sorry, Comrade. Omelette/Broken Eggs and all that..."
Brent Renaud, 51, a video journalist, was fatally shot when Russian troops opened fire on a car near the Romanivsky Bridge in Irpin, police said.
"The occupants cynical [sic] kill even journalists of the international media who try to show the truth about the inaction of Russian troops in Ukraine," Kyiv Chief of Police Andrey Nebitov wrote on Facebook.
"Of course, the profession of a journalist is a risk, but US citizen Brent Renaud paid his life for trying to highlight the aggressor’s ingenuity, cruelty and ruthlessness," he continued.
Two other journalists were also injured in the attack and taken to the hospital, Nebitov said.
Nebitov shared a video of a police officer at the scene with a bloodied man’s body. |
