Russian propagandists reported the death of their "correspondent" in the Donetsk region, along with several others who were injured.

This is reported by the propaganda publication “Izvestia” and the propaganda agency TASS.

Russian propagandists were allegedly delivering humanitarian aid to a church when a drone struck their vehicle near Gorlovka.

It is claimed that as a result of the attack, freelance correspondent for “Izvestia,” Alexander Martemyanov, was killed. Five others sustained injuries and were taken to hospitals in Donetsk.

In December 2024, “Izvestia” reported on the death of the editor of their television channel, Maxim Eliseev, who had left his propaganda work in the fall of 2022 and voluntarily went to fight against Ukraine.

In November, during the assault on Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region, former producer of the Russian propaganda channel RT Magomed Buchaev, who was fighting against Ukraine voluntarily, died.
