— An American journalist was killed and another journalist was wounded by Russian forces in the town of Irpin outside the capital of Kyiv on Sunday, Ukrainian police said.
Brent Renaud, a 50-year-old filmmaker, was killed when Russian troops opened fire, according to Andriy Nebytov, the head of Kyiv's regional police force. Nebytova graphic photo purportedly of Renaud's body on Facebook, as well as pictures of his American passport and media credentials issued by The New York Times.
A spokeswoman for the Times said Renaud was"a talented filmmaker who had contributed to The New York Times over the years," most recently in 2015, but he"was not on assignment for any desk at The Times in Ukraine." Nebytov wrote that Renaud"paid [with] his life for trying to highlight the aggressor's ingenuity, cruelty and ruthlessness," according to an automated translation of his Facebook post.
Renaud and his brother Craig Renaud have reported from a number of global hotspots over the past two decades, including Iraq, Afghanistan and Egypt, according to a
🇺🇦 is the only country that has given up its nuclear weapons and is winning the war with 🇷🇺. 🇺🇲 only protects us with words. None of the countries that negotiated nuclear weapons with the 🇺🇲 and gave up their nuclear weapons survived. Can 🇰🇵 and 🇮🇷 give up their nuclear weapons?
R.I.P. 🙏
Killed by Russian forces? Who said that?
So sad! Journalists risk their lives to bring us information.😪
*Was at a Ukrainian checkpoint filming refugees. *Russians start shelling the CP. *Panicked, looking for escape. *Driver queued at CP offers them a ride, they get in the car. *Driver blows through CP. Most likely the Ukrainian guards shot up the car for driving thru CP.
Every foreign journalist who wantonly enters a war zone needs to understand they are taking their lives in their hands. Full stop.

Usless NATO and that’s all. American journalist killed and no response from your own country.

All these people that are rooting for war, will you be fighting when WW3 happens? Honest question
IAPonomarenko I'm guessing this was on purpose to prevent accurate news reporting in the conflict zone.
Why do you all want this WWIII so bad!!!, 😒😒

PutinMurderer Killing his own journalists is Putin's duty to stay in power but killing American or foreign journalists should awaken the world from stupor of their strong stand against this terrible tyrant who would stop at nothing to gain a strip of land
Biden won’t do shit. He’s scared of putin
IAPonomarenko Russia needs to pay for all of their murders. The time to sit by and watch is over.
IAPonomarenko Sounds like they were deliberately targeted for reporting on the evacuation. I could really use some news right now about major Russian hardware being destroyed or some generals / fake collaborating Mayors being snipered.
IAPonomarenko Praying for all journalists who are showing truth.🙏🙏🙏
Sleepy Joe needs to do something ,an American was lost his/her live !
FBI DHSgov NSAGov SFPD Stop Remote Neural Monitoring. It is torture. “Power attracts the worst and corrupts the best.” Amir at the Amsterdam Cafe in San Francisco is a federal agent. Sgt. Ryan Crosby of SFPD participates in torture truth resist
He was killed by an attack from Ukrainian forces with the weapons provided by USA
IAPonomarenko It seems like no other country is willing to challenge Putin after his nuclear threats so sadly and shameful Ukraine is alone just getting help with some materials but not even the better arms available. NATO has to improve some how its help or we’ll be sorry very soon.
IAPonomarenko 😭😭😭
⭕️💦 World No.1 Squash player AliFarag calling out double standards on Ukraine coverage. Bravo👏🏼 ⭕️💦 if we can talk about Ukraine, we can talk about ⭕️💦Palestine.”
so what?
😢
Prove it was Russian forces and stop trying to rush us head first into WW3 with propaganda. Ukraine has been begging for direct military support for two weeks. All the sudden Russia decides to bomb schools, children hospitals and civilians? No. It doesn’t make sense.
American propaganda
Is it a reporter or a Film Producer ？Can you unify the caliber before you send the news.
Putin killed another journalist? Typical 4 Russia. Nothing new here.
