Journalists being intimidated by Ukrainian police? Anne-Laure Bonnel (and her cat) are on it.

French journalist Anne-Laure Bonnel talks on the phone to a journalist from Le Figaro while her cat meows. It seems that an article of hers was censored, initially she thought it was because of criticism on social media, but it turns out that the Ukrainian photographer responsible for the picture had been interrogated for hours by the Ukrainian Police (SBU), accused of being Russian-friendly, and so because of fears for the safety of the photographer and of the local reporter from Le Figaro, the article ended up being removed. Are journalists being intimidated in Kiev, to publish only approved stories or photographs?
Anne-Laure Bonnel covers the war in Donbass, she doesn't seem to have an active YouTube channel, but she posts some videos on Facebook. I hate Facebook, I think it's an awful platform, but perhaps you can follow her there, but it's all in French:

You can also watch her great documentary "Donbass: 8 years of war" here:

I also uploaded other videos by her on my channel. I could watch this lovely French lady talking in French all day. I wonder why doesn't some big TV channel hire her?
I think she also uses Twitter and Instagram, but I don't use those.
Sorry for any mistakes in the translation, French is not my first language.
Thanks for watching!
