Two Canadians killed during battle in Ukraine, Global Affairs says
Global Affairs says two Canadians have been in Ukraine as tributes pour in for the men who were from Ontario and Alberta.
Family and aid workers have identified Kyle Porter of Alberta and Cole Zelenco of Ontario as the Canadians killed last week in Bakhmut.
Zelenco was described in an online fundraiser as strong and courageous with a fierce sense of loyalty.
Porter’s body was retrieved from the front lines and transported to Kharkiv by Paul Hughes, a Canadian running a charity in Ukraine.
