The Mass Information Institute (IMI), a non-governmental organization, said, citing preliminary findings by the prosecutor’s office, that the photographer was killed by “two shots” by the Russian army. Levin, 40, has worked for Ukrainian and international media.
He leaves four children. Levin was considered a very experienced photographer. During fighting between Ukrainian troops and Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine in 2014, he managed to escape a besieged city where hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers were killed.
Several Ukrainian and Western journalists have been killed and dozens injured since the Russian invasion of Ukraine began on February 24.
