Russian Journalist Killed By Russia Shelling Of Kyiv

Oksana Baulina, who previously also worked for Russian opposition leader Navalny’s anti-corruption group, “died under fire in Kyiv” while “filming the destruction” caused by Russian shelling, The Insider said on its website.

Another civilian was killed alongside Ballina in the strike and two other people were wounded, it added.

Baulina had worked for Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation until it was declared an extremist organization last year.

That prompted her to leave the country and continue reporting on corruption in Russia for The Insider, the news outlet said.

After Russia invaded Ukraine a month ago, Baulina filed several reports from Kyiv and Lviv in western Ukraine for the outlet.

“The Insider expresses its deepest condolences to Oksana’s family and friends,” it said.
