The Russian Foreign Ministry has reiterated its commitment to holding those responsible for the assassination of journalist Darya Dugina accountable. In a statement issued on its Telegram channel, the ministry vowed to continue its efforts until justice is served.
Darya Dugina, a well-known Russian journalist, was murdered on August 20, 2022. The Russian Foreign Ministry claims that her murder was orchestrated by Ukrainian special services under direct orders from what it refers to as the “terrorist Zelensky regime.” This assertion reflects ongoing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, as well as Russia’s stance on the broader conflict involving Kyiv.
The Foreign Ministry’s statement commemorates the second anniversary of Dugina’s death and reaffirms Russia’s dedication to remembering media professionals who have lost their lives in the line of duty. The ministry emphasized that the global community must continue to focus on such matters at international forums. Despite these efforts, the ministry alleges that international organizations have largely ignored Dugina’s assassination and other crimes attributed to the Kyiv regime.
According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, Ukrainian neo-Nazis, with the tacit approval of their Western supporters, have been actively suppressing dissenting voices. The ministry accuses the Kyiv regime’s militants of conducting a “real hunt” against members of Russia’s media community, underscoring the harsh reality faced by journalists and media personnel in conflict zones.
The ministry’s statement stresses that Dugina’s murder will not be forgotten or forgiven. It pledges to continue pursuing justice and holding those responsible accountable. The Russian Foreign Ministry’s unwavering stance highlights the ongoing diplomatic and geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
As the conflict continues to evolve, Russia remains resolute in its demands for accountability and justice for Dugina. The commitment to addressing her death reflects broader issues of media freedom, political dissent, and international responses to conflicts.
