German fighter killed in Ukraine

That's according to the German news outlet RND, Ukrinform reports.

The soldier named Stefan fought on the Ukrainian side against the Russian occupying forces for almost two years. According to the International Legion, the 37-year-old fighter was killed in a Russian artillery attack on March 14. Stefan was working with a drone reconnaissance unit from a shelter that suffered a direct hit and collapsed.

In an interview the German gave RND over a year ago near Kharkiv, he said that the Russians had put a bounty on his head.

Stefan served in the Bundeswehr for five years and was sent to Afghanistan three times. He had a trucking company in southern Germany. In April 2022, he went to Ukraine.
