A Russian journalist has been killed during shelling attack in southern Ukraine.
RIA News Agency reporter Rostislav Zhuravlev was covering a story in a frontline village in Zaporizhzhia region.
Three others were injured in the attack.
Russia’s defence ministry says Ukrainian forces used cluster munitions, hitting the vehicle the journalists were in.
Al Jazeera’s Daniel Hawkins joins us live from Moscow for the latest updates.

Ahhh ha ha ha ha ha ha. How’s that report on cluster munitions coming on?
I’m happy the cluster ammunition is effectively working.
And what is Russia even doing in Ukraine? Are they there for Olympic games? 😊
Covering a story or making up a lie? To me he was making up lies. Good job Ukraine.
He was a propagandist, not a journalist. Also, the Russians must not be in occupied territory.
Wen Ukraine say something you believe it and force it down our throats, but wen Russian say something have happened you call it a big claim, just tell us the news don’t take sides.
Cluster munitions have a 2% kill ratio on enemy combatants, and 98% of fatalities are civilians from unexploded ordnance, they’re a cruel and inhumane weapon no matter who is firing them, while I’m pro Ukraine I’m pro humanity.
“This attack has crossed all moral red lines,” say the Russians. Really? Really? How many Ukrainian civilians have been murdered by indiscriminate Russian shelling and, yes, cluster bombs, too. Nobody cares what happens to the Russians at this point.
Yippy kia mudda faucker 🤣🤣🤣
West has been fuelling this war for years instead of de escalation.
Reporters probably insulted Putin. Bad things tend to happen afterwards
As long as the Russians sides got killed I don’t feel sorry for them the Russian is the one who the aggressive killed Ukraine innocent people from the beginning of the war , so good for and on the Ukrainene sides may
The victory sovereignty glory and independence to Ukraine God bless Ukraine.
The propaganda is strong in this tragic event.
Journalist with a gun!
Don’t believe Russia
Look at his haircut … military style
Oh no! Anyway…
“That’s really quite the claim” is all I needed to stop watching aljazeera news.
Boo Hoo this guy should have stayed in his own country then he wouldn’t be sleeping with the fishes.
Russian journalist went kahput😂
🎶 kerch bridge on fire🕺na na na na na na na na 🕺
MR.PIGLET pootin and his BOTS are SALTY😂😂 GLORY to ukraine and the heroes of Ukraine!! 🇺🇦❤🇯🇲! Thanks al jazeera for da update
Ask him what’s he doing in a invaded country Russia , get and stay out . Glory to Ukraine Glory to the hero’s 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Russian propagandist killed…..meh
Putin’s evil rule is destroying Russia
Like your reporter correctly states @1:12, Rostislav was not a journalist, he had been AND was an active combatant, and was in active duty at the front lines.
Not only that he was on the front line dressed the same as the invaders.
@Chris liberators
@Chris Was he supposed to be wearing a tank top and thong on the front lines?
When Russia used cluster munitions at the start of the war, it was not a problem for Kremlin. Now that it is used against them, Kremlin is furious that it crossed all moral red lines???? Crazy!
From the beginning of this war 9 Ukrainian journalists were killed and 47 other people working for media in different capacities.
But I don’t recall Al Jazeera reporting about any of them. I wonder why?
The guy was fighting? Killing innocent Ukrainians? Stupid he is being mourned.
Hahahahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nuke the kremlin,
Sink the black sea fleet
When you go swimming with the idea you’re not gonna get wet, I think you’ll likely be surprised
The red line has already been crossed by killing innocent civilians
I’m pro-Ukraine in this war. But RIP to the Russian journalist. Russian journalists must have the easiest job in the world, all the stories are already pre-written by the Kremlin’s communications department.
Ukraine said they wont us clusters in the city Cleary thats a lie
This news you wont see on the BBC and CNN medias unless its a Ukraine journalists
Blessings, peace and luck from California to Ukraine 🙏🙏✌🍀💙💛
In this conflict, you are not on the right side. The United States provoked this conflict, and now people are dying.
@Иван Мартыненко Yeah Vladbot says the US invaded a peaceful neighbor who gave up their nukes on a promise they wouldn’t be invaded. lol
@T D The US invaded not a neighboring country, but distant Ukraine, where they supported an unconstitutional coup, occupied the security service, intelligence and other power structures. They forced the political leadership to liquidate medicine, turn education into propaganda, and sell the entire Ukrainian land to American monopolies. They started a war on the border with Russia and provoked the killing of civilians.
@T D Don’t make a fool of yourself, the US has unleashed this conflict, you are killing Russians and Ukrainians, making money on our deaths.
Why are you sending Ukrainians to their deaths from your California?
People here laughing at the Russian Journalist dying. Heartless people. Can you imagine if it were Western Journalists? These same people would be in an up roar. Calling Russians savages. This is a atrocity.
Smoked that mother😂
If Russia didn’t break its 1994 promise to Ukraine this Journalist would still be alive
Journalist or propagandist, fine line between the two.
Russian morality is very strange. Killing a journalist/ combatant is crossing the red line. But raping and killing women, the elderly and children is ok. What a screwy culture.
It’s occupiers journalist
Not Russian journalist
He was working for Putin
I think he should had Visa
To come to front line ( accupied land) 😡
There no such thing as a Russian journalist 🇺🇲
The Russian journalists reports only facts🤣
The murder of a journalist is not the main problem. The main problem is that the United States is supplying increasingly lethal weapons, and peace negotiations are becoming impossible.
Yea that’s unfortunate but it’s a warzone.
No doubt Putin will threaten retaliation-bombing hospitals,kindergartens and shopping malls-oh wait he’s doing that anyway-well perhaps if they hadn’t invaded-it wouldn’t have happened would it?
As usual propaganda —Ok the journalist died -These things happen-But tell us about the vaporization of a Uke /NATO ammunition depot clearly showing cluster bombs exploding at Zhytomyr and that one of the buildings completely gutted in Odessa was holding NATO experts and instructors involved in the drone attacking the Crimean bridge – God knows how many died—You really think a nation like Uke land can do something like that -similar to the Yanks doing Nordstrom
Wtf journalists doing on the front line, its a war zone..you are there at your own risk
There was an information : “They killed allso a journalist of Deutsche Welle, allmost the same hour.” …It desappeared, even from google…Fake?
I looked at the comments, and only two people expressed their condolences to the family of the murdered journalist. The rest are raging with joy. The world has gone crazy!
Have you not been paying attention?
What do you want from ukraine
Is a fighter
I ❤ RUSSIA.
*SO MANY 👺👹👺👹👺👹 VILLAINS. AGAINST “”ONE”” ❤ HERO.*
Only one??
ukraine has been targeting civilians since 2014. zelensky continues to target civilians in donbas with the full support of nato. hopefully zelensky will be captured by ther russians and put on trial for war crimes
russia has been targeting civilians since 2014. russia shoots down civilian airliners
hahahaha
Go forward Russia 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺💪💪
glory to Ukreine
he didn`t die, he took a “special dead operation“
Why is aljazeera not talking about the use of cluster bomb or condemning the use of cluster bomb by Ukraine,, I thought this was an independent News channel
Now yo happy coz u always support Ukraine.wait for feedback i know well that u will not read dem
Oh no
Good, Russians can’t die??
It is his fault for being there… they know that it is not their land… why the heck are they in that area in the first place??? why do they need to follow the greedy Putin??? Putin is the reason why he was killed… and Putin is the reason why a lot more will be killed
What happens when you try and bully your neighbor
Russian – journalist… choose one
“Crossed all moral red lines” < That from a war criminal dictator of a terrorist state who targets more unarmed civilians than military. Nobody believes Ruzzia cares about journalists by the way.
they killed him and blame on cluster propaganda.
Rip
Its great cluster munitions are doing their job. Hint: If Russians don’t want to be murdered, the lesson is, withdraw to the ’91 borders and beg for mercy.
This will trigger chaos for Ukraine
Soldiers life is more important than Journalists…
This is a true full war…
Journalists can’t stop this war Russian side journalists showing Russian interests, Ukraine & western media showing their interests…
Bad guys are usually much more sensitive to any loss incurred than good guys are.
You don’t have any sympathy for the departed because he’s Russian. Hmmmm humans now behaving like animals on TV.
Sup with the devil,use a very long spoon.
Bravo 👍,karma
Russia thinks it can receive weapons from Iran but Ukraine can’t receive weapons from NATO countries. Putin behaves like a typical bully.
Russia always 😭😭😭 don’t no why 😀
“Those responsible for this incident will be held responsible” 🤔 … a profound statement, as always, from Maria 🙄
A bit much, the Russians complaining about cluster munitions, considering that they have been using them for the start of the war themselves.
Russia is invading a sovereign country, Ukraine is alright to attack the invaders
Turns out, being a government propagandist in a country your government is invading is dangerous work. Who’d have thunk it?
In every image of the individual I do not see him wearing a blue bullet proof vest with large letters indicating he’s from the PRESS. The letters should be in white, on the front and back and clearly visible that means LARGE letters. I would also bet the vehicle he was traveling in had no markings to indicate it was Press. He seemed to have dressed just like a Russian soldier but without a weapon. If cluster munitions were used his vehicle may not have been the original target. It seems to me that he just got too close to the front and got caught up in an artillery attack.
I just love how the Russians feign moral outrage when their victims have the temerity to defend themselves. They have redefined the term “cognitive dissonance”. LOL
Putin should be jailed for life
If Russia had not attacked Ukraine then this journalist would not have been in Ukraine to be killed.
happy now putin?
I think you mean hes a propagandist soldier
It about time. That’s real war news to bad it has not been cnn.
Russian could use Cluster Russian could blow up church. Kids and we can’t hit back. You are SLEEPING 😴
blame biden and zalenskyy for their deaths then
