Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	A member of Forward Observations Group walks through ruins of a city during the Russian invasion of Ukraine
Author or copyright owner	Unknown
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	[1]
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Forward Observations Group
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	The image shows a member of the Forward Observations Group as well as illustrates the context behind the 2022 Russian MFA allegations against them, and the previous 2021 allegations that they were combatants and not documentarians. This comports with the image's original purpose -- documentation of the group's activities in the Ukrainian civil war.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	No freely licensed works of Forward Observations Group are known to exist. Text alone cannot adequately display the ambiguity of the Russian claims, the veracity of which are frequently in doubt.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	The usage is a single image, at a low resolution.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The usage respects the commercial opportunity of the original image and does not conflict, as the original image is freely available to view on Instagram at higher resolution.
