Russians all the same: Under Kherson the invaders killed a colleague of journalist La Repubblica

Reporters were ambushed by Russian snipers near the Antonov Bridge and were dressed in jackets with the inscription "Press". On Wednesday, April 26, the correspondent of the Italian edition of La Repubblica Corrado Dunino and his assistant Bogdan Bitic were probably victims of the ambush of Russian snipers near Kherson, La Repubblica writes. Unfortunately, the bitic did not survive: he has his wife and son. Corrado with a wound in the shoulder was hospitalized at the Kherson Civil Hospital.

"We were hit, I saw Bogdan on the ground, he was not moving, I crawled out of the line of fire. Running until I came across a civilian car. I was all in the blood, I was taken to Kherson hospital. I tried several times to call Bogdan, He did not answer. He was my great friend, it's horrible suffering, "Corrado told reporters by phone. Both reporters traveled in jackets with the inscription "Press". The photos show that the jacket, removed by the police, hit the bullet.

The publication notes that the ambush happened near the Antonovsky Bridge. At this time, it is difficult to return the body of briton because of the presence of snipers. The Embassy of Italy in Kiev and the Foreign Ministry work with the Ukrainian authorities to allow Dunino to return to Italy. "I talked to the Minister of Kuleba, who assured me of cooperation between the Ukrainian authorities," said the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Italy Antonio Tajani.

Foreign Minister of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba said that when he heard about what had happened, he contacted the Armed Forces to find out about the details of the case. According to him, the Ukrainian military contacted the journalist and will do their best to help him. "The Russians don't care that Russian, an Italian or a Ukrainian, they just shoot," Kuleba added.

We will remind, on April 26 the invaders attacked the village of Stanislav of Kherson region, as well as the district of Antonovsky bridge. It was then assumed that the Italian journalist was injured during the shelling, where the Russians used artillery and managed aircraft. We will remind, on April 24 the crew of the American TV channel CNN miraculously did not die under the shelling of Russians near the city of Orikhiv, Zaporizhzhya region.
