BREAKING: Award-Winning AMERICAN Filmmaker and Journalist Shot Dead By Russian Troops…Here Are The Details

A 50-year old American award-winning filmmaker and journalist has been shot dead by Russian troops in Irpin, near the capital city of Kyiv. Brent Renaud was in his car with other journalists when Russian troops opened fire on them, killing him and injuring another journalist Juan Arredondo who is currently recovering in a local hospital.  The crew was on their way to film refugees in Irpin when the Russian troops shot at their vehicle.

PBS journalist Jane Ferguson tweeted about seeing Renaud’s body by the side of the road.

Juan Arredondo, the colleague of the now-deceased Brent Renaud spoke with Italian journalist Annalisa Camilli of Internazionale from his hospital bed. He explained to the Italian journalist that their crew was at a checkpoint when they were shot and that Renaud had to be left behind because he was shot in the neck and that he wasn’t sure if his friend was still alive.

Daily Mail reports – Initially, he was thought to have been on assignment for The New York Times because he was carrying a press badge that listed the newspaper as his publication but it has since emerged he was working on a global film about refugees.

Renaud’s death was announced by Andrey Nebitov, the head of Kyiv’s police department, who said in a Facebook post that he paid ‘with his life for trying to highlight the aggressor’s ingenuity, cruelty and ruthlessness.’ He also shared a video, taken by a police officer at the scene, who said a third journalist was wounded.

‘We had crossed the first bridge in Irpin. We were going to film other refugees leaving we got into a car. Somebody offered to take us to the other bridge. We crossed a checkpoint and they started shooting at us. The driver turned around, there were two of us. My friend is Brent Renaud. He has been shot and left behind. I saw he has been shot in the neck. We got split,’ he said.

The White House has not yet commented on Renaud’s death but National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan called it ‘shocking and horrifying.’ He said the US would consult with Ukrainian officials about what to do next.

It remains unclear if Biden will retaliate against Putin. Earlier on Sunday, Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman said Putin is finally starting to show signs of ‘willingness’ to negotiate to end the war but that up until now he has seemed ‘intent on destroying Ukraine’.

  2. yep first thing fake about the fake news is that the guy was never a nyt journalist..never employed by nyt which has come out and said so…. fakity fake fake.

  4. He’s in a combat zone, shit like this happens,he took his chances and lost.. now we’re suppose to be outraged.. LOL

    1. “Be outraged”?
      No, we’re expected to send our children, and much of our wealth and weapons to kill Russians. And if that didn’t outrage you, Putin is gonna use chemical weapons.
      On a preschool. During Sunday services.

      God only knows what Biden family secrets are hidden in Ukraine for him to be pushing us into this war so heavy-handedly.

  10. No way I’m going to believe anything by either side. Like this article saying Putin is finally willing to negotiate. He has always been willing to do that.

  12. This ‘wounded’ guy is on a hospital trolley. Where wounded? An xray cassette is awkwardly being positioned by clearly non radiographic staff. Such a cassette to receive image of the lower abdomen would need a grid in front of it to absorb scattered radiation. There is no grid. Could be a case of Ukrainian soldiers shooting Brent Renaud, and now flipping the script.

  13. Tell the world that Julian Assange is a political priso….ooh, no we’ll forget him just like that journalist the Saudi’s dismembered. Isn’t it the Ukranian Nazis who are shooting anyone they think is fleeing the cities? How do we know it was Russians that shot them?

    1. Video on Telegraff of ‘wounded’ ‘colleague’ being interviewed. Background CHANGES. So it’s totally fake as, done in front of a green-screen like (imo at least) 50% of explosions/shelling/shootings/burnt out buildings/etc we are seeing. Another 15minute video on Telegraff I saw, bloke from Luton in UK went to Kiev 3rd -7th March. There is ZERO bombing, smoke from explosions, burnt out buildings or even far away sounds of war. During curfew at night air raid sirens wail but there’s NO planes & NO explosions. He said the place is a giant movie set with contrived gatherings at railway stations etc to give the impression of fear & chaos for the assembled press corps. We are meant to be thinking Putin is flattening the country & that there’s a full on war. Seems to be they are desperate to escalate this.

  17. “…he was thought to have been on assignment for The New York Times because he was carrying a press badge that listed the newspaper as his publication but it has since emerged he was working on a global film about refugees.”

    So he was a U.S. journalist carrying fake press credentials in a foreign country involved in a war against an enemy of the U.S. Gee, I wonder why they shot him?

    1. Hmm why was he there ?? I can think of several reasons that have little to do with reporting on a “war” & more to do with covering shit up . . . . such as senior US politicians sons with ‘grace & favour’ jobs, Kickbacks to Biden crime family, child trafficking to name a few.

  18. Khazars fake media needs to be shut down then all of them hunted down and destroyed. The world will be such a wonderful place when this evil trash is terminated like vermin

  19. So what? Who cares? You knew the job was dangerous when you took it. You made a really piss poor decision about your life.

  21. There’s a good chance the Ukrainian fascist regime did it in order to blame it on Russia.
    Nothing like a good opportunity to make the strongest possible ally in the world angry at the opponent…
