Russian journalists who voice the Kremlin's propaganda also work in the negotiations, but the Ukrainian journalists did not see them.

We do not see them, fortunately, because it would be very difficult . We were separated, we don’t know exactly where they are… I can’t say that they were isolated from others, these are, in my opinion, such security measures that Ukrainian journalists would be comfortable working,” says Daria Kudimova.
