On April 3, the Security Service of Ukraine forcibly expelled Dutch journalist Robert Dulmers from Ukraine.
According to the representative of IMI in Odesa region, this was reported to local journalists by the spokeswoman of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) in Odesa region Anna Shevchuk.

Foreign journalists have been warned of criminal liability for live broadcasts from Russian missiles and shells.
On March 28, journalists called on the authorities to end harassment of journalists and to develop transparent rules for coverage of Russian shelling.
"Because of the systematic unfounded statements of officials and official structures in society, they began to see betrayal and" adjustment of fire "in the work of all journalists without exception, which is extremely harmful for Ukraine. We call for immediate resolution of key issues as needed to improve the work of journalists, "the statement said.
