Kyiv, Ukraine - Two aid workers, one Canadian and one Spanish, were killed in east Ukraine, said Kyiv on Sunday
Kyiv, Ukraine – Two aid workers, one Canadian and one Spanish, were killed in east Ukraine, said Kyiv on Sunday blaming Russian forces and calling their deaths near war-ravaged Bakhmut “a painful, irreparable loss”.
The industrial region has suffered the worst of the fighting of Russia’s invasion launched last February and Moscow claimed to have annexed the territory last year. “All necessary information is currently being gathered, and we are cooperating with both military and police to resolve all matters of concern,” the NGO said.Igual, 32, was the director of Road to Relief, which she co-founded with a Frenchman, Henri Camenen, in March 2022, just days after Russia invaded Ukraine.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez offered his condolences to Igual’s family and friends, saying in a message posted on X, formerly Twitter, that “humanitarian workers and civilians can never be a target of war.” He said he believed the drone was probably targeting the driver, but the car was British and the driver’s seat was therefore on the right side.
