It is noted that the 62-year-old Grandy came to Kyiv in May because he was devastated that the United States had turned away from the war in Ukraine.
He was a man who really wanted to make a difference. I talked to him about five days ago and he told me he felt like he was exactly where he needed to be and hoped he could stay for another five or six months and help,
According to her, her brother volunteered at a charity in Kyiv and lived in a hotel. He boasted that he heard Russian drones flying nearby and threw hangers at them.
"He thought you couldn't let bullies do things like that, and you couldn't just abandon people, then he saw how hard they fought to save their country, or still fighting. It was just hard to understand that you could just leave, you know? And he just believed that people need to lend a helping hand," the sister of the deceased U.S. citizen noted.
