Ukraine Concealing Information on Death of Russian Photojournalist Stenin
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Rossiya Segodnya International Information Agency is conducting its own journalistic investigation into the death of Russian photojournalist Andrei Stenin, who died in 2014 while on assignment in conflict-torn eastern Ukraine, the news agency’s editor-in-chief said Thursday.

"We are carrying out our own investigation; its results are mounted in a 13-minute video, everything [in the video] is in great detail," Margarita Simonyan said at a press conference entitled "Journalists in conflict zones: the price of truth," organized in tribute to Stenin's memory.

According to Simonyan, the video showing eyewitness testimonies and interviews has already been posted on the agency's website and uploaded on YouTube.

"Taking into account what is happening in Ukraine and, in general, between our countries, of course, there is no guarantee that the perpetrators of this terrible massacre, this tragedy, this execution will ever be found and justice served. Nevertheless, we are doing everything possible for this [to happen]," the editor-in-chief stated.
