Peter Fouché was well-known in Ukraine for saving hundreds of lives
A British combat medic and volunteer who has saved more than 200 soldiers in Ukraine has been killed on the frontline.
The death of Peter Fouché, who had been helping the Ukrainian Army in Donbas since the spring of 2022, was confirmed earlier today.
A tribute said: ‘It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of Pete, our beloved director and founder.
‘There are no words that can do Pete’s life justice. No words or phrases that could ever encapsulate how much he meant to all of us.
‘Pete’s unwavering dedication, endless compassion, and relentless commitment to Ukraine and her people have left an everlasting impact on the countless lives he touched. His heroism knew no bounds.
‘He was actively involved in saving more than 200 wounded Ukrainian soldiers, evacuating civilians from the most dangerous frontline cities, as well as bringing humanitarian aid to people in those towns and cities.
‘Pete’s bravery and selflessness in the face of danger were nothing short of extraordinary, and his actions will forever be etched in our hearts.’
