Russia Concerned About Potential Provocations Against Reporters

Russia is concerned that Ukraine may stage a provocation while media representatives are in the special military operation zone, covering the Ukrainian armed forces’ encirclement, President Vladimir Putin reported.

Putin discussed with the battlegroups’ commanders the possibility of allowing reporters into zones where the enemy has been encircled, so that the media representatives could witness the situation firsthand.

Our only concern is that the Ukrainian side stages no provocations. The most important thing is to ensure that there are no provocations from the Ukrainian side, such as a drone flying in or a reporter getting injured, because we will be blamed for it.
