The parents of a New Zealand scientist who was killed in Ukraine said on January 25 he helped save hundreds of people while volunteering in the dangerous Donbas region. Andrew Bagshaw, 47, a dual New Zealand and British citizen, was killed along with British colleague Chris Parry, 28, while attempting to rescue an elderly woman from Soledar when their car was hit by an artillery shell, according to Bagshaw's parents. The Bagshaws said the deaths, which occurred sometime this month, had only just been confirmed to them. They said their son worked independently and wasn't affiliated with an aid agency.
