Details: The President thanked the media group for their comprehensive coverage of the war in Ukraine.
Quote from Zelenskyy: “All this time, journalists, cameramen, editors, photographers and drivers have been on the frontline. As this is a hybrid war, information is also a weapon in Russian hands. My sincere condolences to the families and friends of those very brave men and women who lost their lives trying to show what is happening in Ukraine. In particular, it is thanks to journalists from many countries that we now have such support in the world.”
Details: Zelenskyy awarded Benjamin Hall the Order of Merit, third class. He also thanked Lachlan Murdoch for his visit and stressed that it was “significant signal of support at a time when the world’s focus is blurred by other events.”
The President spoke about the situation on the battlefield, the high motivation, determination of the Ukrainian people and their belief in victory, and noted that it was important to keep the world’s attention on the Ukrainian struggle for freedom and their state.
Quote from Zelenskyy: “For some reason, people treat it like a movie and expect that there will be no long pauses in events, that the picture before their eyes will always change, that there will be some surprises every day. But for us, for our warriors, this is not a movie. These are our lives. This is daily hard work. And it will not be over as quickly as we would like, but we have no right to give up and we will not”
For reference: In the spring of 2022, a group of Fox News journalists came under Russian fire in Kyiv Oblast. Cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski and Ukrainian reporter Oleksandra Kuvshynova were killed. Benjamin Hall was seriously injured.
