Russian reporter critical of Ukraine war says RSF smuggled her out of Russia

A Russian reporter critical of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine said on Monday she fled to France after Reporters Without Borders smuggled her out of Russia.

"Thanks a lot for your support," Ukrainian-born journalist Ekaterina Barabash, who faces up to 10 years in prison for criticizing Moscow's army, told a news conference at the RSF headquarters in Paris.

Her journey lasted around two-and-a-half weeks, she said in English.

"It was very difficult," she said, adding she was not at liberty to disclose all the details.
