BREAKING: American Stephen Zabielski killed in Ukraine, State Department confirms
The State Department has reportedly been in contact with Zabielski's family to offer assistance, but no further information has been made available to the public. As of yet, the exact circumstances of his death and the location of his body is unknown.
"We can confirm the death of U.S. citizen Stephen Zabielski in Ukraine," a State Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital."We have been in touch with the family and have provided all possible consular assistance. Out of respect to the family during this difficult time, we have nothing further." Irpin Territorial Defence and Ukrainian Army soldiers hold flowers to be placed on the graves of fallen comrades during the Russian occupation, at the cemetery of Irpin, on the outskirts of Kyiv, on Sunday, May 1, 2022.
The State Department also took the opportunity to reiterate its opposition to U.S. citizens traveling to Ukraine or participating in the conflict. The spokesperson added,"We once again reiterate U.S. citizens should not travel to Ukraine due to the active armed conflict and the singling out of U.S. citizens in Ukraine by Russian government security officials, and that U.S. citizens in Ukraine should depart immediately if it is safe to do so using any commercial or other privately available ground transportation options.
