U.S. video journalist, Brent Renaud, was killed in the Kyiv suburb of Irpin. He has been described as a filmmaker as a New York Times staffer. He is a former contributor but was not on assignment in Ukraine at the time.

Time magazine issued a statement saying Renaud was working on a video project for the magazine on refugees.

"We are devastated by the loss of Brent Renaud," Time magazine's leadership wrote. "As an award-winning filmmaker and journalist, Brent tackled the toughest stories around the world often alongside his brother Craig Renaud. In recent weeks, Brent was in the region working on a TIME Studios project focused on the global refugee crisis. Our hearts are with all of Brent’s loved ones. It is essential that journalists are able to safely cover this ongoing invasion and humanitarian crisis in Ukraine."

Renaud and his brother have received widespread recognition for their films, including the prestigious Peabody Award.

Irpin has been the site of intense street fighting between Ukrainian and Russian forces as the Kremlin's troops encircle Ukraine's capital.
