Fox News Sued by Widow of Journalist Killed in Ukraine

Michelle Ross-Stanton, the wife of deceased Fox News video journalist Pierre Zakrzewski, filed a lawsuit in Britain against Fox News after Zakrzewski was killed in Ukraine in March 2022 along with Ukrainian journalist Oleksandra Kuvshynova, while FNC senior correspondent Benjamin Hall sustained near-fatal injuries in the same attack near Kyiv.
The lawsuit alleges that Fox News did not provide adequate protection for Zakrzewski and his team while they were reporting in Horenka, a suburb of Kyiv, when their vehicle was hit by shelling from Russian forces.
Ross-Stanton claims Fox News provided the journalists with an unarmored vehicle and failed to equip them with geo-tracking tools, which could have potentially saved Zakrzewski's life.
The lawsuit seeks approximately $11.6 million in compensation, while Fox News, which also faces a wrongful death, fraud, and defamation lawsuit from the Kuvshynova family filed in March 2024, disagrees with the allegations and plans to file a response.
Fox News stated they remain devastated by the death of Pierre Zakrzewski and Sasha Kuvshynova, asserting they "did everything humanly possible in the aftermath of this unprecedented tragedy amid the chaos of a war zone" and will respectfully defend against the inaccurate claims within the lawsuit, emphasizing the safety of their journalists has always been their number one priority.
