The Current19:222 Canadians killed fighting on Ukraine’s frontlines
A humanitarian worker originally from Calgary has travelled close to the front lines in eastern Ukraine, to help retrieve the remains of a Canadian soldier, Kyle Porter, who was killed there last week.
“It’s absolutely the very least that we can do to honour somebody who made the ultimate sacrifice — a fellow Canadian,” said Paul Hughes.
“Any Canadian would do this.”
Hughes spoke to The Current while he was helping to secure the soldier’s remains in Kostyantynivka, about 25 kilometres from the contested city of Bakhmut.
