Hobbit actor killed in Ukraine conflict
UKRAINIAN actor and TV host Pasha Lee who quit his job and joined the army to defend his country from the Russian invasion has been killed in shelling.
The 33-year-old had only signed up to Ukraine's Territorial Defence Forces last week but died during Russian shelling in Irpin, just northwest of Kyiv. In a tragic last Instagram post on Saturday, Lee shared a picture of himself in his military uniform. He wrote: "For the last 48 hours there is an opportunity to sit down and take a picture of how we are being bombed, and we are smiling because we will manage and everything will be UKRAINE WE ARE WORKING!"
It came as four civilians including a family of three were killed in the same city as they tried to flee the Russian bombardment.
