According to a report by Reporters Without Borders and Truth Hounds, Russian attacks on hotels hosting journalists in Ukraine have escalated from isolated incidents in 2022 to a sustained threat by 2025, potentially constituting war crimes. The report documents at least 31 strikes on 25 hotels, primarily near the front line, with attacks occurring at night using ballistic missiles aimed at civilian targets, indicating a strategy to intimidate journalists and suppress independent media coverage. It calls for legal measures to prosecute these crimes against journalists at national and international levels, including the International Criminal Court.
