UK journalist, Graham Phillips, among four hostages in Eastern Ukraine
RT correspondent Graham Phillips has been reportedly missing, since he went to Donetsk airport with other freelance journalists to cover firefights in Donetsk, Ukraine, on Tuesday. According to sources heis among four people taken hostage by Ukrainian troops.
Journalist Bryan MacDonald confirmed reports that G.Phillips is alive, but stressed that it will take a while to get him out due to the dangerous zone he is in.
"A source in the British government said that he is alive, and that is fantastic news, and everyone is very relieved of course. They say that he is being held by Kiev forces, but because the area is so dangerous it might take some time to be released," he told RT.
It is reminded that the other three people in the group are reportedly ANNA news agency's cameraman, an employee of the press service of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, and possibly an acquaintance of Phillips, who accompanied the journalist to the airport.
"Our cameraman, Vadim, was working in the epicenter of the fighting, RT's stringer was next to him," ANNA news agency reported yesterday.
The agency cites anonymous sources, saying the group of four was taken hostage by Ukrainian troops.
