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."

Background:

• Two French volunteers were killed and three other foreigners were injured during a Russian drone attack on Beryslav, Kherson Oblast, on 1 February. A member of the Ukrainian branch of the same organisation was also wounded.
