SES press officers wounded in Russian strike on Kyiv, one in serious condition
Members of the State Emergency Service press office were wounded in last night’s enemy attack on Kyiv.
Censor.NET reported this with reference to a post by the head of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SES), Andrii Danyk.
"Unfortunately, this year’s holiday is overshadowed by pain. The night of 6 June became one of the most tragic – the enemy delivered yet another massive strike against Ukraine’s civilian population. Among the dead are three of our rescuers from Kyiv. Members of the SES press office were also wounded – two of our colleagues, one of whom is in serious condition; doctors are fighting for her life. They are not just Service employees – they are an integral part of the wider journalistic family."
The SES noted that its press officers are always side by side with rescuers during the hardest moments.
"They film, write and document while the rescue operation around them is still under way. They do not merely relay information – they show our reality as it is. Their job is on the edge. During enemy shelling, press officers risk their lives no less than the rescuers themselves," Danyk added.
