War reporter Anna Kalyuzhna reports death threats to herself and parents

War correspondent Anna Kalyuzhna says she received death threats to herself and her parents.

She reported this on her Facebook page and posted the screenshots.

"I am receiving death threats and threats to rape my parents in front of my eyes," Kalyuzhna wrote.

According to the war reporter, the threats were made after a conflict with an Assault Brigade No. 3 battalion commander Dmytro Kukharchuk. Anna Kalyuzhna also reported receiving a text message from Kuharchuk's old personal number, saying: "Haven't kicked the bucket yet?"

"Kukharchuk's reaction to the most disgusting threat to my parents (probably sent by Kukharchuk's subordinatel according to my data) was as follows: 'Could it be because you devalued heroism?'" Kalyuzhna commented.

The war reporter noted that those who threatened her have been identified and that she would pass this information on to the police. Her information suggests that one of them is Kukharchuk's subordinate.

Anna Kalyuzhna says she received dozens of phone calls from different numbers within a few hours of the night, including a call with a rape threat.

"It is sad that Mr. Kuharchuk and, presumably, the rest of the brigade command, involved the privates in this. And even though they cropped out the end of my previous post everywhere, I will say it again: I have great respect for the Assault Brigade No.3 personnel, the Brigade's volunteers, the heroism of the Brigade's soldiers (including Avdiivka and the feats of today, I add). I respect them no less than I do other military personnel," the journalist noted.

She said that she would file a complaint with the National Police.

IMI has requested additional comments from Anna herself as well as Dmytro Kucharchuk.
