Reporters in Russia are propagandists. There is no press freedom in that country, so if you work as a reporter, you are not fulfilling the role of a journalist, but a state sanctioned propagandist.

A Russian reporter in Ukraine might as well be a part of the armed forces.

I don't see why a Russian "journalist" needs to be anywhere near the action, it's not like accurate reporting is expected...
