Humanitarian volunteer, navy vet killed in Ukraine while helping civilians

American volunteer and US Marine Corps veteran Pete Reed was killed Thursday in eastern Ukraine, according to his family.

“He was the good kind of crazy,” his brother Chandler Reed told Fox News. “He selflessly put himself in danger all the time to help other people.”

Reed was working for Global Outreach Doctors in the town of Bakhmut where his ambulance was hit by incoming Russian fire, relatives said.

Global Outreach Doctors has listed Reed as the “National Director of Ukraine” on the organization’s website.
