An American citizen, Willy Joseph Cancel, was killed fighting alongside Ukrainian forces in Ukraine, members of Cancel's family confirmed.
PHILADELPHIA -- An American citizen, Willy Joseph Cancel, was killed fighting alongside Ukrainian forces in Ukraine, members of Cancel's family confirmed to ABC News and CNN.
"He wanted to go over because he believed in what Ukraine was fighting for, and he wanted to be a part of it to contain it there so it didn't come here, and that maybe our American soldiers wouldn't have to be involved in it," Cabrera told CNN in a phone interview. A State Department official said they are"aware of these reports and are closely monitoring the situation."
Tietze said Cancel was the"type to fight for what's right regardless of the outcome," when asked why Cancel had decided to join the fight in Ukraine.
