Known as Marek, the man was hit by Russian shells in Bakhmut on March 16th. He died in Kyiv on March 27 after being unable to recover from his wounds.
A statement from Nehemiah Initiative, the organisation with which he worked, said: “On Thursday, March 16th, barbaric shelling reached him, his friend from our team and 4 other civilians while delivering humanitarian aid on the Konstantinovka – Chasiv Yar route.
“Despite a rapid evacuation and the utmost professionalism of Ukrainian medics, who fought for his life during several hours of operations, Marek died in a clinic in Kyiv before noon today.”
Marek has been making aid trips to Ukraine since the fall of 2022. He was in Irpin, Fastov, Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk.
