Tetyana Bondarenko, deputy head of the Healthcare and Rehabilitation Department of the Vinnytsia RMA, stated this at a briefing on July 18.
"Almost since the beginning of the war, the RMA Head's order regarding media representatives visiting the region's health care institutions has been in effect in Vinnytsia region. The visit is only to happen with the approval of the Healthcare and Rehabilitation Department of the Vinnytsia RMA," she said.
Tetyana Bondarenko added that the Department of Healthcare and Rehabilitation of the RMA obliged the Healthcare Department of the City Council to conduct an official investigation.

Anton Kudinov faced backlash over the posted interview with the survivor. However, he claimed that she had "agreed to be interviewed and, together with her family, provided additional content" for him. In an interview with Suspilne, the mother of Iryna Dmytrieva said that her daughter has not been told about her child's death: the doctors forbid it, because, according to them, the news can kill her.
On July 17, the Commission on Journalistic Ethics condemned the very fact of the interview that the Italian RAI News 24 channel's filming crew took with Iryna Dmytrieva, who had lost her daughter in a missile strike on Vinnytsia, and the way in which it was conducted.
On July 18, the Independent Media Council turned to the Italian public broadcaster RAI with a request to investigate the incident at the Vinnytsia hospital on July 15, when videographer Anton Kudinov, working as part of the RAI News 24 crew, recorded and posted an interview with Iryna Dmytrieva, a survivor of a russian missile. strike.
