“An hour ago separatists kidnapped two Italian journalists Paul Gogo and Kossimo Attanasio, and a Belarusian journalist of Novy Chas newspaper, Dmitry Galko, who carried filming in the town. Journalists were deprived of documents, money and photo equipment, [held captive] in some building. Information [received] from them,” journalist from Donetsk Denys Kazansky writes on Facebook.
Earlier Ukrainska Pravda online edition reported, referring to the eyewitnesses, about capture of journalist and Euromaidan activist Irma Krat.
As Krat told LifeNews TV channel, she came to Sloviansk as a journalist “to cover the events.'”
