Russian journalist Oksana Baulina killed by Russian shelling while filming in Kyiv
Russian journalist Oksana Baulina was killed while filming in Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, making her at least the fourth journalist to die in the country as the conflict rages on after Russia's invasion.
Baulina was working as a correspondent for The Insider when Russian troops shelled a shopping center in the Podil district, a historic neighborhood in Kyiv, the site said in a statement.

Baulina was a producer for the Anti-Corruption Foundation but had to leave Russia once the organization was declared an extremist group. She continued to report on corruption inside the Russian government after fleeing.
According to The Guardian, Baulina, 42, started her career in magazines including Time Out Moscow and InStyle before switching to more political work.

When her country started an immoral war, she stood up against it and reported on it. A very brave woman.

Baulina had worked for Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation until it was declared an extremist organization last year. That prompted her to leave the country and continue reporting on corruption in Russia for The Insider, the news outlet said. After Russia invaded Ukraine a month ago, Baulina filed several reports from Kyiv and Lviv in western Ukraine for the outlet.
Vladimir Milov, who worked with her at Navalny's group, vowed to avenge her.
"I will never forget her and to all those who are responsible for her death I promise that they won't get away with (only) a trial and a verdict," Milov said on Twitter.
"What an unbelievable horror," wrote Lyubov Sobol, another prominent member of Navalny's team.
Sergiy Tomilenko, head of the Ukrainian journalists' union, confirmed Baulina's death in a statement on Facebook, saying she was reporting on the aftermath of a shelling when she was hit by fresh fire.
