SOCHI, August 09, 17:57 /ITAR-TASS/. Several government agencies are working to bring the Rossiya Segodnya (Russia Today) photo journalist from Ukraine back home, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Saturday.

“The relevant agencies are taking measures to bring the journalist back home because the life of any our citizen, including journalists’, is the top priority in such situations of course,” he said.

The journalist, Andrei Stenin, went missing in the embattled Ukrainian south-eastern region earlier this week. One of Russia’s largest state-run news agencies Rossiya Segodnya said it had last heard from him on August 5.
