Many friends and volunteers gathered at Kyiv’s St Sophia Cathedral to pay their last respects to New Zealand scientist Andrew Bagshaw, who died trying to save people in a war-torn Ukrainian city. Bagshaw, 48, a New Zealand-British national, and Christopher Parry, 28, a British volunteer, went missing on their way to the town of Soledar in eastern Donetsk region which came under heavy shelling. Volunteers shared their memories with Bagshaw and read condolence messages from his family.
One of his friends in Ukraine, Nicolette Stoyanova, shared memories of his bravery. “No one wanted to go to Soledar, but they could,” he said. Because if he felt that someone needed help, he would do it and he used to do it. Bagshaw’s father Phil told reporters in New Zealand that his son wanted to help people. Ukraine police said on January 9 that they had lost contact with Bagshaw and Perry.
However, their bodies were later recovered. Meanwhile, Russian forces heavily bombed the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson on Sunday, killing three people and injuring six others. The regional administration said the bombing damaged a hospital, school, bus station, post office, bank and residential buildings.
