Oleksandra Kuvshynova, also known as Sasha, was a 24-year-old Ukrainian journalist, producer and creative. Before the war, she had worked as a photographer as well as a DJ. She wrote poetry and founded a jazz festival.
Former colleague Akim Karpach told CNN, "She did everything to the fullest — she was 100% immersed into every friendship, hobby, job, etc. She was never indifferent. She loved every day of her life and was happy every time I saw her."
When the war broke out, Sasha founded an organisation to coordinate volunteers delivering humanitarian aid. She was working with a Fox News team covering Russia’s invasion of Ukraine when she was killed on 14 March near Kyiv.
In yesterdays attack near Kyiv, we have lost a beautiful brave woman - Oleksandra Kuvshinova - Sasha. She loved music and she was funny and kind. she was 24 years old. She worked with our team for the past month and did a brilliant job.

He was killed along with his colleague Sasha as their vehicle was struck by gunfire outside Kyiv on 14 March. With them was Fox News correspondent Benjamin Hall, who was severely injured during the attack.
Zak had a passion for travel, photography and videography. His colleagues remember Pierre as a multitalented journalist, shooting video, fixing equipment, producing and editing pieces. He had previously worked in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. Fox News correspondent Steve Harrigan said: “He had so much joy. He was a guy who went to horrible places but never lost that childlike joy.”
