Czech volunteer dies in Ukraine

A Czech volunteer fighting on the Ukrainian side against the Russian army was killed over the weekend. His death was first reported on the X social network and subsequently confirmed by the Czech Ministry of Defence. In total, four Czech citizens have died in combat since the full-scale invasion by Russia in February 2022.

The Czech died in fighting for the town of Avdiivka in the Donetsk region after his position was allegedly hit by mortar fire. The volunteer hasn’t been seen since the attack and the place is now occupied by Russian troops.
