| [MAIL] A former US Marine working as a volunteer medic in Ukraine was killed while evacuating civilians from Bakhmut in the east of the country. Pete Reed, 33, died on February 2 after his ambulance was struck by a missile while he was evacuating people from the besieged city, which has become a focus of Putin's efforts. It happened as another evacuation team near Reed's came under attack, requiring him to respond and render aid, his wife Alex Potter told the Washington Post. Reed served two deployments as a Marine rifleman in Afghanistan and started the nonprofit Global Response Medicine with Potter in 2017. He is one of at least seven Americans to have died in Ukraine since the Russian invasion in February 2022.
