Two Americans killed in the Donbas region of Ukraine, the State Department confirmed Saturday.
“We can confirm the recent deaths of two U.S. citizens in the Donbas region of Ukraine,” a State Department spokesperson said, ABC reported. “We are in touch with the families and providing all possible consular assistance.”Officials declined to elaborate on specifics of how the two Americans died, but stressed they are in contact with their families.
Russia had pivoted to the Donbas region in May after facing a flurry of setbacks while trying to subdue the capital city of Kyiv and other key cities in Ukraine. With the presence of Russian-backed separatists, the Donbas region has been widely considered to be a more favorable terrain to Russia. In addition to announcing the two deceased American fighters, the State Department also stated it has been in communication with Russian and Ukrainian officials regarding Americans that may have been captured in the fighting.
