News spread quickly of the death of an American reporter and film-maker Brent Renaud, 51 years old, killed in Irpin, near Kiev, in the early afternoon of Sunday 13 March. With him was another journalist, Juan Arredondo, who was injured. The first to break the news was the head of the local police, Andrei Nebitov, spreading a photo of the reporter’s documents.

Initially it was thought that he was a reporter for the New Work Times but came the denial of the newspaper. The news that Renaud was a reporter for the “New York Times” spread because he wore the newspaper badge, but the same newspaper specified that the reporter was not on a mission for the newspaper to report on the events of the war in Ukraine. It seems that the collaborations with the Times dated back to 2015.
