Reuters reported the information.

The agency's journalist Lyubysh-Kirdey was part of a team of six people from Reuters covering the war in Ukraine who were staying at the Hotel Sapphire when it was hit by a missile. He is now in critical condition. 

“Reuters video journalist Ivan Lyubysh-Kirdey remains in critical condition. Our other colleague, Ukraine correspondent Daniel Peleschuk, was treated and has left the hospital,” Reuters said in a statement. 

The agency notes that the other three members of the group were not injured. In addition, Reuters confirmed the death of a British citizen, Ryan Evans, who worked for the agency. 

Ivan Lyubysh-Kirdey has worked for Reuters since 2022, and previously worked for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. In 2022, he received the Order of Merit from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for his contribution to journalism. 

  • On the night of August 25, the Russian army struck Kramatorsk with an Iskander, hitting a hotel. Eight people were injured and one was killed. Among the victims were journalists from Ukraine, the United States, Britain, and Poland.
  • The Russian strike on the hotel in Kramatorsk killed British journalist Ryan Evans, who worked for Reuters. Two of the media outlet's employees are in hospital.
  • Later, it was reported that the international organization Reporters Without Borders was preparing a lawsuit against Russia over the attack on a hotel in Kramatorsk that killed a Reuters employee and injured journalists.
