Quote from Butrii: "Unfortunately, two French citizens, HEKS EPER volunteers, were killed in an enemy attack on Beryslav several days ago. Three other French citizens and a Ukrainian citizen were injured. No one’s security can be guaranteed in wartime, but we have to know people’s whereabouts in areas where hostilities are ongoing."
