Russia's Investigative Committee said on Sunday it had launched a criminal probe into the killing of a Russian war reporter, an incident the country's defence ministry previously blamed on Ukraine's use of cluster munitions.
When you send a propagandist to the front line with a gun, it's a valid target. This coming from a country that targets childrens' playgrounds, hospitals, residential homes, and grain exports.
Thankfully the Geneva Convention doesn't agree with your faulty logic. Your personal value judgements on the quality of journalism being produced has absolutely zero bearing on whether killing a journalist is acceptable.
Just to check if you're applying your "logic" evenly or just cherry-picking where and how you apply it: should targeting of Russian medics be allowed, since they're only saving the lives of Russian soldiers? If not, how is targeting a journalist (for Russia) different than targeting a medic (for Russia)?
And remember: the Geneva Convention disagrees with you. Maybe that should be motivation to check if what you're saying is actually reasonable or not.
