Irpin, a frontline suburb of KyivVideo documentary maker Brent Renaud, 50, was working for Time Studios on a project about global refugee issues, the media outlet said.
A New York Times identity card was among Renaud’s papers, leading to earlier reports he worked for the paper. AFP reporters in Irpin saw Ukrainian volunteer soldiers rush the body on a stretcher to a more secure location before laying it out on the ground for further identification.
