Ukraine War: American Photographer and Film-maker Killed in Ukraine
American journalist killed in Ukraine 'paid his life' for covering war, Kyiv police chief says
13 Mar 2022 Sky News
An award-winning American photographer and film-maker has been killed in Ukraine
A 51-year-old world-renowned media correspondent was shot in Irpen today," police chief Andriy Nebytov wrote on Facebook, referring to a city located to the west of Kyiv that has been hit hard in the war. "Another journalist is injured. Now they are trying to remove the victim from the war zone."
The social media post identified the journalist who died as award-winning documentary filmmaker Brent Renaud. The post shared images of Renaud's passport and a press pass for the New York Times.
The deputy managing editor of The New York Times tweeted Sunday that Renaud was not on duty for the newspaper while he was in Ukraine.
The Times "is deeply saddened to learn of the death of an American journalist in Ukraine, Brent Renaud," Cliff Levy said. "Brent was a talented photographer and filmmaker, but he was not on assignment for @nytimes in Ukraine."
"He was wearing a Times press badge that had been issued for an assignment many years ago," a statement from The Times said.
Irpen, located to the west of Kyiv, has been hit hard during the Ukraine-Russian conflict.
"Irpen, and its surroundings villages, are seeing an absolute humanitarian disaster. Russian soldiers occupied Vorzel, Hostomel, Zabucha and the Mylhailivka-Rubezhivka and won't let residents leave their own homes," the city's former mayor said, according to a group of Ukrainian journalists.
The former mayor described Russian forces shooting at homes and shelling hospitals.
Renaud has won numerous accolades for his work, including a Peabody and DuPont award, according to his IMDB biography. He's been producing films for two decades. He often produced films with his brother Craig, the bio says.
