Zakharova called Fedorchak's death a crime of Kiev against freedom of speech.

The death of Izvestia correspondent Alexander Fedorchak in the area of a special operation to protect Donbass is a new crime by the Ukrainian leadership against freedom of speech, and it will not be forgotten. Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, told Izvestia on March 24.

"I can already assure you that the Kiev regime's next crime against freedom of speech and journalism will not be forgotten by the 'strategic silence' paid for by Western curators," Zakharova said.
