From spring straight to winter?

That would be Ukraine, where two Russian journalists were killed recently during bombing of Lugansk.

The death of journalists during intense fighting is - while extremely tragic and hopefully rare - not at all comparable to them getting sentenced by courts for simply reporting news. The former is to some degree unavoidable (if they got target specifically then everything changes), while the latter is an explicit act of government against freedom of press and speech.
