You are right. All russian channels are sponsored by Kremlin to show propaganda. But it doesn't changes fact, that their journalist was killed. The fact is that the Ukrainian army is targeting all those journalists who are not on their side. For example, Graham Philips (British national) was recently banned from entering Ukraine, after being arrested by the Ukrainian army.
Professional independent journalist will never tell soldier or volunteer in conflict zone that he made wrong decision and call him stupid or zombie like Graham Philips did on this video:

So, he is obviously biased and not interested in revealing the truth about the conflict. And this is not surprising considering where he works.
After the war began in Ukraine - the media lies every day. Ukrainians have to watch foreign TV channels to find out the truth. Government, through the media intentionally incites ethnic conflict
The truth is that ukrainians don't need media to find out the truth. For now over 300,000 man already served in conflict zone since 2014. Everybody have someone who was there and saw the truth. Don't believe stupid russian propaganda about civil conflict and other bullshit. They send troops there to kill ukrainians.

In Ukraine has so much mess because of the endless lies. The government lied to its people for several years, but people continue to believe the whole. Media controlled the opinion of people like puppets. I hope someday the Ukrainians understand that we should not listen to their rotten leadership that has destroyed their country...
Anyone that thinks reporters don't lie has been living in the closet too long, Most reporters only say what people will read doesn't matter if it's right just that people will read it.

Yeah but there is a major difference between "censor their news to certain extend." and kidnapping or killing journalists that are a pain in the ass for the government.
Censorship isn't always bad in itself. And most developped countries have some kind of censorship.
But abusing journalists... Well that's a different matter :/

Missing Russian journalist Andrey Stenin confirmed dead in Ukraine
http://rt.com/news/184232-russian-journalist-ukraine-dead/
So the death toll so far: 5 Russian, 1 French and 1 Italian journalists.
Sad news.
As it was said before, many of the dead journalists were no strangers to hot spots, reporting from Iraq, Syria, Northern Africa, and yet they met their end in Ukraine.

“The car had been shot up and burnt on a highway in the vicinity of Donetsk,” he said in a statement. “The autopsy results came back this morning. He was indeed in that car – the 33-year-old young man, a brilliant professional, someone who cared.”

The unit that carried out the attack was also using a tank, according to the investigators.
More than 10 cars containing peaceful civilians had been shot up. The contents of the vehicles, including the civilians' belongings, had come into Ukrainian posession.

Recently freed Crimean journalists Yevgeniya Koroleva and Maxim Vasilenko said Wednesday that they tried to obtain some information about missing Rossiya Segodnya photographer Andrei Stenin (#freeAndrew) while being detained by Right Sector activists, but the militants said they did not know where he was.

Journalist Andrej Stenin is still missing. The previous report was denied by the head of SBU. A case is opened and Ukrainian Militia (Police) [hopefully] searches for him

The situation there is worse than in Iraq or Afghanistan. Which is logical considering the fact that terrorists are not running those countries like in "Ukraine".
And the missing reporter tuns up - arrested. Again. The term "aiding terrorists" is the new Western term for "investigative journalism"

Russian journalist Andrey Stenin, who went missing in eastern Ukraine last week, has been arrested by Ukraine’s security service, an adviser to Ukraine’s Interior Minister Anton Gerashchenko said. The photographer is accused of aiding local militia.
“[Stenin] has been arrested by our security service. He was present at tortures and killings in Shakhtyorsk [a town in Donetsk region]. The photographs, first depicting a still living, wounded soldier, then the same soldier dead, have caused outrage around the world,” Geraschenko said, answering a question about the Russian photographer in an interview with Latvia's Baltkom radio.

The images Gerashenko was citing however show a living soldier. The same soldier is seen taken from the scene for medical assistance in a video published on YouTube. After the sixth minute the soldier can be seen talking as he is being prepared for surgery.

Accusations are 'artificial, ridiculous' - journalist's boss
RIA Novosti's general director, Dmitry Kiselyov, said that Kiev’s accusations were “artificial and ridiculous.”
“The good news is that Andrey is alive. The bad news is that the Ukrainian authorities confirmed after a week that he has been,” he added, saying that this time was presumably needed to make up a criminal case against the journalist.
“Andrey was doing [the same work] he had been doing earlier, particularly in Syria and Egypt. The only difference is the attitude toward journalists in Ukraine, which is much harsher, even brutal, than where Andrey worked earlier.”

The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) voiced concern over the safety of the Russian photographer on Monday.
“If he has been detained in Ukraine then we appeal for whoever is holding him to release him immediately. He is a journalist, not a soldier, and as such is entitled to move freely and report the truth without the threat of intimidation, violence or detention,” said IFJ President Jim Boumelha, according to the organization’s statement.

Sadly practices like this are commonplace in the eastern ex-USSR states, They usually just remove persona non gratas rather than
discredit themin various ways.
Might be that they are working like that simply out of habit?
