Following the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, a veteran United States Marine, Cooper Harris Andrew has been killed.

It was reported that Harris was killed during a battle for a vital road to Bakmut.

The 26years old man died while defending evacuees alongside others who were killed.

It was learned that Andrew joined the Legion, a group of foreign fighters in assisting Ukrainian forces since Russian’s invasion.

Andrew served in the Marine from 2017 to 2022, prior to being released from service as aground electronics transmission system maintainer and later moved to Ukraine, where he was stationed in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

“We have nothing more to add out of respect for the family’s privacy during this trying time,” he added.
