“Today, a 51-year-old correspondent working for the world-famous New York Times was shot dead in Irpin. Another journalist was wounded. Now the victim is being taken away from the combat zone.

The man received a shrapnel wound in his thigh. He has been operated by Okhmatdyt medics. He does not know of his colleague’s fate yet.
