A US citizen died while volunteering in the fighting in Ukraine Friday, his family says
Edward Wilton, 22, of Florida, had been in Ukraine for nearly a year at the time of his death, his half-brother Parker Cummings told CNN by phone Wednesday. The US Embassy told the family of his death Monday, Cummings said. A State Department spokesperson confirmed to CNN the deaths of US citizens in Ukraine but did not identify them, citing respect for the families’ privacy. The spokesperson added, “We are in touch with the families and providing all possible consular assistance.
’” Wilton was slated to return to the US in October, he said. The brothers had been able to video chat recently, Cummings said, when Wilton spent a week in Poland, celebrating his March and visiting with his mom who had traveled from Florida. “They had a nice week,” he said. “Now, two weeks later, here we are.” Cummings said that his brother was in the US Army and had previously been stationed at Fort Benning in Georgia.
