CHASIV YAR, Ukraine — Several aid organizations in Ukraine say that a volunteer Canadian aid worker was killed Saturday morning by a Russian attack.
In an Instagram post, humanitarian group Road to Relief said Anthony"Tonko" Ihnat was killed while travelling in a vehicle with three other volunteers with the organization.
Taisia Orikhovska, a coordinator with Brave to Rebuild, added Ihnat volunteered with the group earlier this year in the Kyiv region. Ihnat and his colleagues with Road to Relief were on their way to check on civilians in the town of Ivanivske, in the Bakhmut region, according to the group's Instagram post. The region was home earlier this year to one of the longest, deadliest battles to play out in Ukraine since Russian forces first invaded the country in February 2022.
German medical volunteer Ruben Mawick and Swedish volunteer Johan Mathias Thyr were badly injured and hospitalized, the organization said. Its post said the status of Spanish volunteer Emma Igual, the group's director, was unknown. However, Spain’s acting Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares told Spanish media that authorities in Madrid had received"verbal confirmation" of 32-year-old Igual’s death.
