Recall
In the summer, it became known that at least two foreign volunteers who fought on the side of Ukraine were killed. Thus, in early July, British volunteer and combat medic Peter Foucher, pseudonym Hasta La Vista, was killed on the front line. He was killed while rescuing wounded Ukrainian soldiers and evacuating civilians from frontline cities during the russian occupation.
In mid-July, a Finnish citizen who was helping the Ukrainian armed forces was killed north of occupied Donetsk. This is the fourth volunteer from Finland to die in Ukraine.
