The family of a Saskatchewan farmer who served with the Canadian military in Afghanistan says he has been killed fighting in Ukraine.
Joseph Hildebrand, 33, died recently in Ukraine, said his brother Jake. The family was notified by some other people in his unit.
Clayton Hildebrand said family and friends were told Joseph Hildebrand was out on a mission around the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, which has become a key target of Russia’s offensive in the eastern Donetsk region.Ukraine’s deputy defence minister said last week that the Bakhmut area is “the epicentre” of fighting in eastern Ukraine. Local media has said the 15,000 remaining residents are living under daily shelling and without water or power.
Marilyne Guèvremont, a spokesperson with Global Affairs Canada, said the department is aware of the death of a Canadian citizen in Ukraine but did not provide further information. Guèvremont said in an emailed statement that they are in contact with local authorities and the family. Clayton Hildebrand remembers the local school students writing letters of support to his cousin while he was deployed.
