The Russian journalist died when she was hit by Russian fire in Kiev while filming rocket damage to a shopping mall in the Podolsky district.
Documentary journalist for the Russia-based independent news website Insider and activist Oksana Baulina was killed along with another civilian, while two people accompanying her were injured and are being treated.
Baulina was in Ukraine as a correspondent, reporting from Lviv and Kiev, focusing on corruption in the Russian government.
Journalist for independent media in Russia
Baulina began her career working for lifestyle magazines such as Time Out Moscow and In Style, but after a decade she turned to political reporting and worked as a producer at the Anti-Corruption Foundation.
He was briefly jailed after Russian police raided the headquarters of the independent Anti-Corruption Foundation, where he was moderating a live broadcast of a nationwide rally. When the Russian government labeled the organization as extremist, she was forced to leave the country, where she continued her reporting for Insider, which specializes in investigations, fact-checking and political analysis, and Coda Story, which investigates authoritarianism, according to the Guardian.
In an article reporting her death, The Insider said it "elivers its deepest condolences to Oksana's family and friends".

There are growing concerns about the risks faced by Ukrainian journalists covering Russia's invasion of their country. The Committee to Protect Journalists said that two other journalists, Oleh Baturyn and Viktoria Roshchina, had disappeared in the past but have since been released by their abductors, who are suspected to be members of the Russian armed forces.
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said that targeting journalists is a war crime and said that three other journalists have been abducted since the invasion.
