A veteran Fox News cameraman and a local Ukrainian fixer were killed in the same attack outside Kyiv that injured one of the network’s top correspondents, Fox said Tuesday.
Cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski, 55, and Ukrainian journalist Oleksandra Kuvshynova, 24, were with Fox News correspondent Benjamin Hall when their vehicle came under fire Monday in Horenka, a northwest suburb of Kyiv, Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott said in a statement.
“Today is a heartbreaking day for Fox News Media and for all journalists risking their lives to deliver the news,” Scott said.
Hall — who was “extremely close” to Zakrzewski, according to a colleague — was hurt in the attack and hospitalized.
Zakrzewski was a seasoned conflict photographer, having worked for Fox in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
“He was profoundly committed to telling the story and his bravery, professionalism and work ethic were renowned among journalists at every media outlet,” Scott said.
