00:09 GMT: A new law bans media from being in the combat zone in eastern Ukraine, the self-proclaimed defense minister of Donetsk People's Republic, Igor Strelkov, said, adding that the new legislation is meant to protect members of the press. “From now on journalists are not allowed to take pictures, video, audio or be in the combat zone, or near a combat zone,” RIA Novosti quoted DNR’s press service as saying.
Strelkov added that the measure is temporary and that special accreditations for the media are being considered, which would grant journalists full access to the combat zone.
