A United States citizen was killed in the northern Ukrainian city of Chernihiv, the State Department confirmed Thursday.
“We offer our sincerest condolences to the family on their loss. Out of respect to the family during this difficult time, we have no further comment,” the agency said without identifying the deceased.
“Today, the occupiers once again carried out a heavy artillery attack on unarmed civilian residents in the city. There are dead and wounded people. Among the dead – a U.S. citizen,” wrote the Chernihiv region Police on their Facebook page.
“Police officers are helping to evacuate affected citizens to medical facilities,” the statement also reads. “Chernihiv police investigators are working at the scene. Law enforcement officers are carefully documenting all the circumstances and consequences of Russian war crimes.”
More than 50 people have died in the past day in Chernihiv due to heavy Russian shelling.
President Biden has said a heavy price will be paid by Russia for the targeting and killing of any American citizens.
The confirmation of a dead American in Chernihiv marks the second death of a U.S. citizen during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. American journalist Brent Renaud was killed on Sunday near Kyiv.
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
