In revenge for journalists, the Russian army shelled the positions of the Ukrainian army
According to a report on the website of the Russian newspaper Izvestia on April 20, a shocking operation unfolded on the battlefield. The Russian army fired artillery shells at the positions of the Ukrainian army on all fronts, which was not an ordinary attack, but in memory of Semyon Yelyomin, a war correspondent of the Russian newspaper Izvestia, who died during the special military operation.
Hundreds of shells flew like fierce fire towards the positions of the Ukrainian army, and the roar of the Russian soldiers echoed on the battlefield: "Avenge Semyon Yelyomin!" This is their affectionate tribute to their comrades-in-arms and an angry response to the enemy. The website of the newspaper Izvestia showed footage of artillery operations. At the moment of loading the ammunition, the cartridge case clearly reads "For Semyon". Subsequently, the Russian fighters did not hesitate to fire at the positions of the Ukrainian army. After the launch was completed, surveillance video confirmed that the target was hit.
Ye Liaoming, a 42-year-old war correspondent for Izvestia, has been working in the war zone since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in February 2022. However, on the 19th, while reporting on the Zaporozhye region, he was unfortunately attacked by a drone of the Ukrainian army and died heroically.
This retaliation is not only a tribute to Ye Liaoming, but also a demonstration of the Russian army's firm determination. They sent a strong signal to the enemy with artillery fire, and also showed the world their unity and courage. In the smoke of war, journalists risked their lives to deliver truthful information to us. Ye Liaoming's sacrifice makes us deeply regretful, and at the same time, let us pay high tribute to all the journalists who are fighting on the front line.
May the war end soon and peace come soon.
