Attacks on media workers in 2025. Introduction

In 2025, the Justice for Journalists Foundation and its local partners continued to monitor developments in the media landscape across five Council of Europe member states, as well as in Russia and Belarus. The trends identified in our 2024 report persist: while Armenia, Moldova, and Ukraine maintain pluralistic and independent media environments, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Belarus, and Russia have fallen further in media freedom rankings.

In these four countries, state actors remain the primary perpetrators of attacks against media workers and media outlets, with judicial and economic means accounting for the vast majority of incidents. As the number of independent journalists continues to shrink in these increasingly authoritarian states, governments have expanded their persecution to target media workers living in exile, while further mistreating those already imprisoned through harsh conditions of detention.

Tragically, the war in Ukraine continues to claim lives. This year, French photojournalist Antoni Lallican, military correspondent Olena Hramova, and cameraman Yevhen Karmazin were killed in drone strikes while carrying out their professional duties. Ukrinform editor Tetyana Kulyk also lost her life when a drone struck her home.
