The russian attack by the Shaheds on Kyiv overnight into March 23, which also damaged the office of OBOZ.UA, a publication that is among the TOP-10 news sites in Ukraine, was condemned by the U.S. Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), OBOZ.UA reports.
The organization called on the invaders to stop hitting Ukrainian civilian objects. This was written on the page of the Europe and Central Asia Program of the CPJ on X.
