RT Cameraman (a British national) held hostage by Ukraine forces in Donetsk
Graham Phillips of Great Britain, and a Russia Today freelance cameraman along with 3 other reporters captured and detained near Donetsk airport in Eastern Ukraine.


"RT contributor Graham Phillips is among four people taken hostage by Ukrainian troops, ANNA news agency reports. He has been missing since he went to Donetsk airport with other freelance journalists who were reporting on firefights on Tuesday." snip-

"The last time Phillips got in touch with Moscow was on the evening of Tuesday, July 22.

The stringer informed Moscow he was planning to go to Donetsk airport, currently the most active warzone in the regional center besieged by Kiev’s troops and National Guard.

“We urged him not to go, because of the obvious risks, but based on the messages that appeared in social media a bit later, he decided to go there anyway, alongside another group of journalists,” RT’s statement maintains."

The very same Mr. Phillips was also detained by Kiev for 36 hours back in May.

It's reported that Phillips at one time had a $10,000 bounty on his head!

Remember when he walked through a trip wire, that set off a flare, but he reported that Ukrainian government troops had fired on him?

Hey, thanks for the pine! Just stumbled across this story and thought it was newsworthy. It seems fighting on the ground has really ramped up since the MH17 tragedy has diverted attention to the posturing politicos and away from the battlefield.

MH17 update- Reuters accused of false report.


"...News Anchor: Once more, I would like to confirm it with you, so you can say it during our live broadcast – does the Militia currently have “BUK” or not?

Alexander Khodakovskiy: I am telling you absolutely – after we analyzed the entire situation and took inventory of the equipment in our arsenal – I can tell you with full authority that the Militia has no “BUKs”. MANPADS – yes, those we do have. But their upper ceiling is no more than …

News Anchor: … You do not now and never had any?

Alexander Khodakovskiy: We do not now and never had any.

News Anchor: I would also like to ask – who did you have your conversation with? Did he speak Russian well, and did he understand what you were telling him?

Alexander Khodakovskiy: Yes, the person spoke Russian quite well. Portions of the video recording were provided to the leading Russian TV channels, including REN-TV and ORT. Accordingly, if someone requires proof, then this proof can be obtained from the above-mentioned sources.

News Anchor: In your opinion, who stands to benefit from the publication of such incorrect information?

Alexander Khodakovskiy: During the interview, I expressed my opinion that the publication of incorrect information may be in the interests of those who wish to stir up this situation and to undermine the preliminary conclusions which have been reached

At this time, we realize that it is difficult to accuse Russia and the Militia of culpability in the deaths of so many innocent people, without proof. However, someone, nevertheless, is very interested, at this time, to lay this blame [on Russia and the Militia].

This is despite the fact that I said very specifically in my interview that the only party guilty of this is the Ukrainian government. Because the information and the materials that the government disseminated over the Internet speak to the fact that they allegedly had the evidentiary basis proving that the Militia was in possession of a “BUK” [complex]. However, if they had this [evidentiary] base in advance, why is it that they did nothing to amend the flight paths and change the directions of the civilian airlines to divert them away from the combat area?
