Reporters have been targeted and face unprecedented dangers bearing witness to the conflict. The Committee to Protect Journalists says 17 media personnel have been killed in the war – the latest was Agence France-Presse video journalist Arman Soldin who died in crossfire last month. Meanwhile, Moscow has ramped up disinformation and labelled the independent press “foreign agents,” according to United Nations rights experts. So, what’s it like reporting from Ukraine’s war zone? How do you stay safe on the frontlines? How resilient are Ukrainians 16 months on? Join us for an in-conversation event with Bangkok-based media personnel who have spent months on the ground.
