Recall that as a result of a strike by an enemy drone of the 'Lancet' type in Kramatorsk, journalist of Freedom TV channel Olena Hubanova and operator Yevhen Karmazin were killed. According to Vadym Filashkin, the media workers have been covering the situation in Donetsk region from the first days of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, telling the truth about enemy crimes and the evacuation of the civilian population.
