There are new reports that he's in the hospital. I will undelete this post if his death is confirmed.
Z-war correspondent Poddubny is alive, Kursk regional hospital reported
His hospitalization in the Kursk Regional Hospital was confirmed to the Defense Ministry's Zvezda TV channel. Soon this information was confirmed by Poddubny's employer, the VGTRK television and radio company. The Z-war correspondent was wounded as a result of a UAV attack.
The video allegedly shows Poddubny being hospitalized.
It has to be binary, no nuance? So you're against killing the press obviously, so let me ask you this: if he was providing information and physically helping the was effort by moving resources and planning, is it ok then? Does being in the press give you a pass to do anything and not be caught up in the war, or is there nuance and it isn't binary?
That’s acting as an actual part of the military and is beyond the scope of the press. Just like if a medic picks up a gun and starts shooting it’s fair to shoot back. It’s not blanket immunity, there are rules.
A member of the press acting in their capacity as a member of the press should never be targeted and we shouldn’t celebrate their deaths.
So what about taking pictures of troop movements for the press? That could aid the military. You can act as the press and get crucial information, even go behind enemy lines and get that info. Where do you draw the line? Could someone under label of press gather tons of intel then broadcast it as "news"?
I would like you to find a media outlet out in the field gathering enemy troop movement for military purposes, I’ll wait. Truly.
This is quite the theoretical. And yeah if they were caught doing that, they would likely be treated as enemy combatants and rightfully so.
