Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) is requested to suspend accreditation of three journalists who disclosed positions of Ukrainian ATO forces that Russian proxies can use, ATO press-office reports.

"Supporting the initiative of Ukrainian fighters we requested the SBU to suspend accreditation of Hromadske.TV reporters Anastasiia Stanko, Kostiantyn Reutskyi and Novaya Gazeta reporter Yuliya Polukhina," it claims.

On July 6, they recorded video in Avdiivka showing how Russian proxies shell Ukrainian positions and two Ukrainian servicemen killed by a mortar shell. On July 8, this video was posеed on Hromadske.TV web-site. After having watched it, Ukrainian servicemen requested Hromadske.TV to take it off the air, which the latter did.

Later on, the similar video by Yuliya Polukhina was posted on Novaya Gazeta web-site. It was broadly disseminated on the Internet, among Russian mass media and media of the so-called ‘DNR.’

It is outrageous, because faces of Ukrainian servicemen and the specific location of their positions can be easily identified on this video. It is a grave violation of journalist good practices in the war zone, ATO press office stresses.
