In Bakhmut, Russian shelling kills US medical volunteer in Ukraine — the Guardian

He was helping evacuate civilians when his vehicle was reportedly hit by a missile in Bakhmut. 

Pete Reed, 34, came from Bordentown, New Jersey. He was a former US Marine Corps rifleman who had served two tours in Helmand, Afghanistan. After leaving the service, Reed worked as a ski instructor in Wyoming.

He then worked with the disaster response organisation Team Rubicon after Hurricane Sandy hit his home state in 2012.

In late 2015, Reed went on to begin medical training operations in northern Iraq.

Reed eventually co-founded and served as president of Global Response Management (GRM), a veteran-led international medical NGO that delivers emergency care to various frontlines. With GRM, Reed participated in emergency operations across Iraq, Yemen, Syria and Poland.

Reed joined Global Outreach Doctors in January 2023 and arrived in Ukraine. On February 3, it became known that a Russian shell had killed a man.
