Russian Journalist Anna Prokofieva Killed in Landmine Explosion Near Ukraine

Russian state TV journalist Anna Prokofieva was killed in a landmine blast near the Ukrainian border, with her cameraman, Dmitry Volkov, seriously injured. The explosion occurred in Russia’s Belgorod region, an area that has seen frequent attacks from Ukraine amid the ongoing war.

According to state broadcaster Pervy Kanal (Channel One), the duo’s vehicle ran over a landmine reportedly planted by the Ukrainian military. The 35-year-old journalist was pronounced dead at the scene, with the channel mourning her as a professional who “died while performing her duty.”

Rising Dangers for Journalists in the Ukraine War

Russia’s Belgorod region, bordering Ukraine, has been a hotspot for cross-border attacks, including drone strikes and artillery shelling. Reports indicate that ground clashes have also occurred, particularly after recent Ukrainian military retreats from the neighboring Kursk region.

Earlier this week, another attack killed six people in Russian-controlled Luhansk, including two Russian journalists and their driver. With Prokofieva’s death, the number of media personnel killed in the war has reached nearly 20 since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, as per the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).

Who Was Anna Prokofieva?

Prokofieva had been covering the Russia-Ukraine war for Channel One since 2023. Her last Telegram post, shared on Tuesday, showed her in military fatigues with a head-mounted camera in a forest near the border. The caption read: “Somewhere on the border with country 404”—a derogatory reference to Ukraine used by pro-Kremlin bloggers.

A dedicated war correspondent, Prokofieva was known for her front-line reporting. Her death highlights the grave risks journalists face while covering conflict zones.

Escalating Tensions in the Region

As Russia intensifies its military operations, Ukraine has suffered widespread drone strikes. Overnight attacks targeted major Ukrainian cities, including Kharkiv and Dnipro, leaving multiple people injured and damaging residential buildings and infrastructure.

Ukrainian officials reported that their air force intercepted most of the 86 explosive-laden drones launched by Russia. However, some managed to break through, causing significant damage in Kharkiv and injuring at least 18 people in the city and nearby Zolochiv. In Dnipro, three people were wounded, and the historic Potyomkin Palace, an 18th-century landmark, suffered damage in the assault.

These attacks occurred as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with European leaders in Paris to discuss ongoing defense strategies and Kyiv’s position in potential peace negotiations. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to push for territorial recognition from the West, with growing concerns that U.S. political shifts could impact the war’s trajectory.

The Cost of War Journalism

Prokofieva’s death adds to the long list of journalists who have lost their lives covering the war. As the conflict persists, media professionals remain at extreme risk, navigating battlegrounds to bring first-hand accounts to the world. Her passing serves as a stark reminder of the sacrifices journalists make to uncover the truth in times of war.
