Two Americans killed in Ukraine ambush are identified: “Fierce warriors”
The two Americans killed during an intense battle with Russia on the frontlines in Ukraine have been identified as more details surrounding the “ambush” are revealed.
“They did it successfully. But at the end of the mission they were ambushed by Russian tanks,” Miroshnichenko said. “The first shell injured Luke. Three guys, Edward, Emile, and Bryan, they immediately attempted to help Luke, to do first aid, and evacuate him from this spot. Then the second shell killed them all,” Miroshnichenko said.
Heffernan’s post also appears to confirm the events leading up to the deaths: “Luke had been badly wounded by artillery and was knocked unconscious. His fellow brothers who were close to Luke’s position refused to retreat and cheered each other on in face of imminent danger and charged forward to help their fellow brother.” According to Heffernan, “Bryan was our best machine gunner, ruthless and fearless.
