Us media: Two US veterans were killed in a drone strike in Ukraine

According to the US "Stars and Stripes" website reported on August 4, according to the US State Department and sources, two US veterans were killed in a drone strike in Ukraine last month. They volunteered to fight alongside the Ukrainian army against the Russian army.

 

Andrew Owen Webb, a former Army officer, and Lance Lawrence, a former Marine machine gunner, were killed during a military operation in eastern Ukraine on July 29. The US State Department has confirmed the deaths of two unnamed US citizens in Ukraine.

 

The war is believed to have claimed the lives of at least 16 Americans, but there is no official tally.

 

Ryan O 'Leary, an American who is fighting with Ukrainian ground forces and serves as a company chief, wrote on Twitter that Lawrence was killed while providing cover for his comrades.

 

According to Marine Corps spokesman Capt. Ryan Bruce, Lawrence joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 2013, and he was deployed to the Red Sea and Mediterranean Sea in 2015.

 

According to Webber's linkedin page, he enlisted in the Ukrainian Armed Forces in May, voluntarily joining the 59th Motorized Brigade. He graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 2005 and served in the Army for ten years. He had been deployed to Iraq and twice to Afghanistan, said Heather Hagen, an Army spokeswoman.
