A reporter from the United States was shot and killed by Russian forces in Irpin, Ukraine on Sunday morning.
Video journalist Brent Renaud was killed when Russian soldiers opened fire on a vehicle carrying reporters, according to multiple reports.
Early reports states that Renaud was assigned to Ukraine by the New York Times, though that claim has since been verified as untrue.
“.@nytimes is deeply saddened to learn of the death of an American journalist in Ukraine, Brent Renaud. Brent was a talented photographer and filmmaker, but he was not on assignment for @nytimes in Ukraine,” Times managing editor Cliff Levy wrote on Twitter.
“Brent’s death is a terrible loss,” Levy continued. “Brave journalists like Brent take tremendous risks to bear witness and to tell the world about the devastation and suffering caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.”

Did they interview the bullet? Or is everyone taking this propaganda at face value? One Israeli was killed by Ukrainians at the beginning of the war because they suspected him of being a mercenary or spy. It’s not as if the Ukrainians have a hanhalla meeting before shooting.
Ny Times is sad. When their anti Jewish reporters make up lies about Israel yet Israel treats them with kid gloves. Russia knows how to handle these troublemakers.
All of them out there
