"Being on the front line is now completely prohibited, unless, of course, they (journalists. - RT) do not have written permission from the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny, "the material says.
It is clarified that the ban on access for foreign journalists to the contact line came into force without prior warning.
As indicated in the newspaper, this decision could be due to the huge losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the fact that "Ukrainian forces could not break through the Russian defenses."
At the same time, the material clarifies that the last time such measures were applied was in September 2022, when Ukrainian forces conducted a number of operations in the Kharkiv direction. Le Temps, citing a source, writes that Ukrainian officials this time hope that the decision is connected with the desire of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to hide from the media "a major offensive that needs to be kept silent."
Earlier, the media wrote that Western officials and analysts believe that Ukraine has lost more than 150 thousand soldiers killed and wounded since the beginning of Russia's special operation.
