A beautiful tribute to Pierre. We will miss him.

Such a fine man. Such a good friend. Such a fantastic war photographer and so much more. RIP Pierre Zakrzewski.

Please also pray for Oleksandra Kuvshynova’s loved ones. She was a young Ukrainian journalist sharing the story of her country’s invasion. Our friends who worked with her said she was vibrant & full of life. I can’t even imagine the pain her parents are going through right now.

In yesterday's 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.
May her memory be a blessing

RIP Pierre and Sasha. From our last correspondence:

I will effort to get as much of this on TV to help Ukrainians in every way possible. Keep Smiling.
Pierre

I don’t know what to say. Pierre was as good as they come. Selfless. Brave. Passionate. I’m so sorry this happened to you.

My heart is with Benjamin Hall & his beautiful family tonight. We worked together just Saturday evening, anchoring the evening news together. Him from Kyiv & me from DC. Please hold him in your hearts this evening.

Thinking about you. A great journalist, father and friend.

Benjamin is a husband and father. Great colleague. Keep him in your thoughts please.
