The German newspaper Die Welt has hired a new reporter: the Russian journalist Marina Ovsyannikova, who drew the world’s attention after a surprising stunt on Russian state television in protest of her native country’s recent and continuing invasion of Ukraine.
Ovsyannikova “is now a freelance correspondent for Die Welt, reporting from Ukraine and Russia, among other places,” said the newspaper in a statement. Die Welt is the flagship newspaper of Axel Springer SE, a German media group that also owns the American publications Insider and Politico.
