Widow of Fox journalist killed in Ukraine seeks answers: Why was security team not with her husband?
Zakrzewski felt confident of their safety, his wife says, because a team of New York Times journalists had made the same trip with the same soldiers one day earlier. But “there was a lot of shelling,” said Andriy Dubchak, a Ukrainian reporter who worked with the Times on that assignment. “No one knew where the front line was. It was really unpredictable.
Dubchak, the Ukrainian stringer for the New York Times, spent hours that evening accompanying two security consultants — one with the Times, the other with Fox — on a search of area hospitals. They eventually located Hall in one hospital, where he had been transported by soldiers who found him at the blast scene.
There was an immediate outpouring of grief when Fox News reported the death of the widely beloved cameraman. As word began to circulate in Kyiv that Kuvshynova also had died, some journalists chided Fox on Twitter for not promptly reporting this news. But ultimately, most of the foreign correspondents interviewed by The Post — a close-knit community still grappling with the deaths of their friends — decided that the Fox News team had simply gone where the story was that day. The Post spoke with more than 10 correspondents from a variety of news organizations; many said that they would have taken the same trip and that the Fox crew had merely accepted the standard degree of reasonable risk that comes with their line of work.
A representative for Fox News said network officials discussed safety and caution with its team in Kyiv every day. Renaud’s death “was part of that discussion, and we were always urging caution,” the person said. But it’s not unusual for media organizations to “embed” with a military unit in an active war zone. Several correspondents said it was often the only way for journalists to cover the Ukrainian front lines.
Ross-Stanton was baffled by this account — noting that team was missing for several hours. “They’ve said that they knew exactly where they were all of the time, and that’s not true,” she countered.From her sources, she learned that the consultants stayed behind after dropping them off with the soldiers because there wasn’t enough room in the Azov vehicle.
“I would love to know who made that decision for them not to go,” Ross-Stanton said. “In some ways I sort of hope it was Pierre that told them not to come because it was too dangerous, because then I’m not going to blame anybody for his death.” Now, Ramsay said, he finds himself wondering: “Is it possible to do this job without it being incredibly dangerous? If it’s not incredibly dangerous, you’re probably not doing it.”
Zakrzewski “would have loved to have been a father,” his wife says, but she worried about raising a child while he was off working in dangerous places.
