A journalist for Radio Liberty in Ukraine has been killed during Russian shelling of Kyiv, the station has said.<\/p>\n
Vera Gyrych was at home when a missile hit her building, according to a statement from Radio Liberty.<\/p>\n
She was described as “a bright and kind person, a true professional” by her employer.<\/p>\n
“A wonderful person is gone,” her colleague Oleksandr Demchenko said on Facebook.<\/p>\n
Radio Liberty, also known as Radio Free Europe, is a US-funded organisation which broadcasts news in areas of the world where free press may be restricted or not yet established.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said one body had been recovered after yesterday’s missile attack, though no further details of the person killed were given at the time.<\/p>\n
Moscow has confirmed that it hit Ukrainian targets, but has not commented on the strike on the building.<\/p>\n
