Multiple Americans have now died in Ukraine during the conflict, which has lasted for five months.
A second American man, Jimmy Hill, was shot down by Russian military snipers while in a bread line trying to provide for his ailing wife, according to his sister.
One man, a former Marine, was fighting in Ukraine in April when he was killed by Russian forces.
“He wanted to go over.”
“He believed in what Ukraine was fighting for, and he wanted to be a part of it.”
His mother continued, “to contain it there so it didn’t come here, and that maybe our American soldiers wouldn’t have to be involved in it.”
Additionally, a man from New York died while fighting last month in Dorozhniank.
