Jesse Adams, an animal rescue volunteer from Canada, was killed by an attack of a Russian FPV on an evacuation vehicle near Kramatorsk.
Jesse Adams was helping bring out animals to safety from the war Russia started.
Deepest condolences. Eternal gratitude.

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

Yes, I spoke out about the voting machine I cast my vote on the first day of early voting in Tennessee.
Yes, the button kept flipping up to the wrong candidate three times.
Yes, I called on a very nice poll worker who stood there until it worked on the third try.

The place was NOT empty @realDonaldTrump. It was on fire. And Obama was addressing the real concerns people have - not going on about mens' rear ends. Because he is a real president and you are a joke.

Your country has lost its standing as the protector of all those values you talk about. Treating from friends, neighbours and allies in cavalier harsh ways has serious implications for America’s place in the world.
The long term implications should be apparent to all MAGA such as yourself: accelerated economic decline, loss of trust in US commitments, and the eventual loss of the US$ as the world’s reserve currency.
You would be wise to read respected international papers before putting your foot in your mouth and spouting nonsense .
I will translate from German: “ The Better American.
Canada’s Mark Carney emerges as a beacon of hope for the free world. “
