> or just ignoring the laws, and illegally reporting from dangerous yellow or red zones

I skimmed Wikipedia [1] but couldn't find any mention of laws in Ukraine that forbid reporting from certain areas. I see laws forbidding statements of support for Russia, and laws enabling censorship. Maybe I've misunderstood: are you referring to anti-trespassing laws in general, and not specifically about reporters?

I meant rules for journalists specifically; I'm surprised the article doesn't mention it. I think this is a good summary from https://cpj.org/2023/03/new-ukrainian-army-regulations-limit...

> The rules bar journalists from working in so-called “red zones” deemed most dangerous, and require a military press officer’s escort to work in less dangerous yellow zones. Journalists can work freely in green zones.
