Two journalists report being barred from entering the site hit by a Russian drone at RC Jack House

Journalist Kateryna Malofeyeva and Sipa correspondent Dmytro Kovalchuk were not allowed to report from the Russian drone strike site at the Kyiv residential complex Jack House.

Malofeyeva reported this on Facebook, and Kovalchuk commented on the incident to the Institute of Mass Information.

Kateryna Malofeyeva said that she had asked the security guard for permission to access the 33rd floor, but, judging by the released video, he refused.

"Not only was I faced with rudeness from the administrator, but they refused to give me the manager's contacts, they started insulting me, and the security guard was about to use force," Malofeyeva wrote.

In the video, the security guard says he forbids her to work and violates the law. "Yes, I forbid you to work, I am violating all your journalist rights, yes," he says.

He added that she has no right to be in the residential complex.

In the comment to the Institute of Mass Information, Kateryna Malofeyeva said that she would not be complaining anywhere on this matter, as she has no time.

Sipa correspondent Dmytro Kovalchuk also told IMI that a security guard of the residential complex refused to let him work at the Russian drone attack site.

As reported by the State Emergency Service press office, the November 7 Russian drone strike caused a fire to break out on the 33rd floor of a residential building in the Pechersk district, which resulted in the 34th (non-residential) floor partially collapsing.
