Both Mr Zakrzewski (who had been working as a channel consultant) and Ms Kuvshinova (who had been working in the channel’s production department) both succumbed to the attack.

Mister Hall, speaking for the first time after the attack, tweeted: “To summarize, I’ve lost half of a leg on one end and a foot the other.”

“One hand is being assembled, one eye isn’t working anymore, and my hearing is pretty bad… but overall I feel pretty damn fortunate to be here, and it is the people who brought me here who are incredible!”

As he explained the nature and extent of his injuries, he posted a picture of himself in hospital with bandages and an eye patch.

He also gave thanks to his former colleagues.

He said, “It’s been more than three weeks since the attack on Ukraine and I wanted start sharing it all.”

“But first, I must pay tribute to Pierre and Sasha, my coworkers who couldn’t make it that day. Pierre and I traveled the world together. His joy in working was infectious. RIP.”

Mr. Hall was taken to a hospital in Ukraine, but was later allowed to leave.

Ukraine news site kp.ua reported that Mr Zakrzewski died and Ms Kuvshinova was killed by artillery shelling from Russian troops in the northern-eastern region of Gorenka.
