🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Western Frontline Journalists Banned Amid Russian Drone Dominance – The Times

According to The Times, Ukrainian forces have stopped allowing journalists near frontline positions due to the overwhelming effectiveness of Russian drones.

Previously, some Ukrainian brigades granted media access to combat zones. Now, even Ukrainian troops themselves are struggling to reach their own positions safely, making media visits nearly impossible.
Most Western outlets have ceased sending reporters within 15 kilometers of the front. Ukrainian soldiers increasingly refuse to escort journalists, fearing casualties from constant Russian drone and artillery strikes.

Two years ago, Irina Rybakova, press officer of Ukraine’s 93rd Brigade, organized hundreds of media trips to the front. Today, such trips are nearly nonexistent.
