Ukrainian photog killed in shelling outside Donetsk

2015/02/28

Multiple Ukrainian sources indicate that Nikolaev was with Nikolay Flerko, a volunteer for the nationalist Right Sector battalion, in Pesky, on the outskirts of Donetsk, when he was wounded.



The two men, who were reportedly not wearing bulletproof vests or helmets, were taken to a local hospital before being declared dead.


"We don't know all the details, but there was shelling in Pesky today," said Ukrainian military spokesman Andrey Lysenko to Reuters.


The government forces and anti-Kiev militias say they are withdrawing heavy weaponry from the frontline, in accordance with the internationally-mediated peace roadmap signed in Minsk earlier this month.
