The US State Department said Tuesday that a second American has died in Ukraine while fighting the Russian invasion.

A State Department spokesman said: “We can confirm the death of US citizen Stephen Xavierski in Ukraine.” “We have contacted the family and provided consular support as much as possible. There is nothing more on the family during this difficult time.”

Xavierski died while fighting in the war in mid-May, according to an obituary published by his family in the New York newspaper The Recorder. He was 52 years old.

He was killed on May 15 while fighting in the town of Droznyak, Ukraine.

Zabilski’s death was first reported by Rolling Stone. According to reports, he dies in a mine in southeastern Ukraine.

A 52-year-old US Army veteran lived in New York City until 2018 and was involved in construction for more than 30 years. According to his obituary, he liked to hunt, fish and ride a Harley motorcycle in his spare time.

Xavierski has survived with his wife and five children, says Obit.

Other details of Xavierski’s efforts to fight Ukraine were not immediately available, but US officials again warned Americans about his trip to a war-torn country. .. Ground transportation options are available directly.

Ukrainian officials previously confirmed that 22-year-old former Kentucky Marine Willy Joseph Changseller was killed in a battle with Ukraine in late April. Kansel was working for a private military contractor who paid him to fight Russian troops attacking Ukraine when he was killed.
