A U.S. citizen who had been caring for his partner in a Ukrainian hospital was killed by Russian fire as he waited in a bread line after briefly stepping out to buy food, his family said on Thursday, APA reports quoting Reuters.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed the death of an American, identified by his sisters as Jimmy Hill and mourned as "the helper that people could find in a crisis".
One of his sisters, Katya Hill, told CNN he had stayed in the hospital in Chernihiv, the site of heavy Russian bombardment during its invasion, to be alongside his Ukrainian partner as she battled multiple sclerosis.
