A cameraman for Russia's Channel One TV station died from injuries after being shot by Ukrainian troops in Donetsk, the head of the press service for the Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) said, as quoted by RIA Novosti.
“The cameraman was injured in the stomach and died of the wounds,” Klavdia Kulbatskaya said.

The cameraman Anatoly Klyan, along with a few other journalists, boarded a bus full of women – mostly mothers – who were traveling to a military base in Donetsk to demand that their sons be dismissed from the unit and allowed to go home, Kulbatskaya added.
When the bus reached its destination, shots were fired from the base and that is when the cameraman was injured.
The cameraman died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, DNR’s First Deputy Prime Minister Andrey Purgin told RIA Novosti, adding that the driver of the bus was wounded in the neck and is currently in the hospital.
A crew from Channel One confirmed to RT's Maria Finoshina – who is currently in Lugansk – that the cameraman was, in fact, shot and killed. “We have been able to speak with these journalists and they called their colleagues in Donetsk and this information is now confirmed,” Finoshina said.
This does...
A veteran cameraman working for Russia’s Channel One was killed in eastern Ukraine when a bus carrying journalists and soldiers’ mothers was hit by gunfire, the station said Monday.
Anatoly Klyan, 68, who had worked for the state channel for 40 years, was the fifth journalist to be killed since the fighting began in April between Ukrainian government troops and armed pro-Russia separatists.
Channel One said its crew was traveling late Sunday to a Ukrainian military base with mothers of conscripts hoping to bring their sons home when their bus came under attack near Avdiivka, a village just north of the city of Donetsk.

Is the Seattle Times acceptable to you???
Or are they just “Putin’s Toadies!”, too?
No, they are not Putin’s toadies. You are. Just a rare occasion where your “tweets” turn out to be somewhat correct.
lol....
You’re funny!!!
Lifenews now has video of the bus being shot up, taken by another journalist inside. The guy in the Sweatshirt is the TV1 Cameraman that was killed:

WARNING: Slightly graphic
RT tweeted that George Soros was the shooter. How do you feel about that?
Linky??
Oh wait....
Why your fixation with links, all of a sudden. I’m making fun of the fact that you rarely provide them yourself.
The only thing you do is troll. You provide NO facts, you provide NO insight, nor do you ever provide any proof of what you deny.
You are the classic flame troll. Now, go fish...
How did those Blackwater mercenaries in Kiev turn out? Did RT ever tweet a correction? I remember you being rather worked-up about them.
BTW I hear George Soros has his hands in Ukraine now.....the bottom feeder is about to strike I imagine. I bet he can smell the revenues flowing to him already!
Breaking:...
Poroshenko’s speech to the nation...he’s been stalling with a so called cease fire nobody kept......nothings changed...he just regrouped.
Poroshenko vowed on July 1 to launch a military offensive against “terrorists” in eastern Ukraine, ending a 10-day self-imposed truce. (which nobody kept)
“We will attack and we will liberate our land.” according to a statement on Poroshenko’s website.
