Zelenskyy: If Ukraine falls, it would be the start of World War 3

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy sits down with Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst to discuss the war on ‘Special Report.’

American volunteer and U.S. Marine Corps veteran Pete Reed was killed in Eastern Ukraine on Thursday, according to his family.

“He was the good kind of crazy,” his brother Chandler Reed told Fox News. “He put himself selflessly in danger all the time to help other people.”

Reed was working for Global Outreach Doctors in the city of Bakhmut, where his ambulance was struck by incoming Russian fire, relatives said.

Global Outreach Doctors listed Reed as the “Ukraine Country Director” on the organization’s website.
