Ukrainian officials said an American journalist, Brent Renaud, was fatally shot while reporting outside of Kyiv on Sunday.
Ukrainian officials have blamed the killing of Renaud, 51, on Russian troops. The journalist had been reporting on the outskirts of Kyiv, where there has been heavy fighting. He was with another journalist, Juan Arredondo, when the pair came under fire after passing a military checkpoint, according to a video interview by Arredondo, who is being treated in a Kyiv hospital.

Renaud had contributed to The NY Times in previous years, most recently in 2015, but he was not on assignment for the company in Ukraine. Early reports that he was working for The Times in Ukraine circulated because he was found with a Times press badge that had been issued for an assignment years ago.
