Months before Russian troops attacked Ukraine, American Jimmy Hill went there to be with his Ukranian partner, Ira, who has multiple sclerosis. When war broke out, Hill stayed, despite the deteriorating conditions in the northern Ukrainian city of Chernihiv.
"He was not going to leave Ira's side in her condition," Hill's sister Katya told CNN's"Erin Burnett OutFront.""Jim was in Ukraine this time because he had gotten medicine from the United States and had found a doctor in Chernihiv that would treat her."Hill was among dozens of civilians killed by the Russian onslaught Thursday in Chernihiv. Ukrainian police said he died during artillery fire.
On March 8, his post began:"Intense bombing last night for 2 hours. It was close to hospital. Machine gun fire could be heard. It stopped just after midnight."On Monday, he wrote,"we are hanging in there...very coold inside. food portions are reduced..bombing and explosions most of the night..hard to sleep. People getting depressed."Tato and Mama gave me a home in Ukraine.
