In a post to Instagram on Sunday, Road to Relief confirmed Anthony 'Tonko' Ihnat was killed while on his way with three other volunteers to assess the needs of civilians in the outskirts of Bakhmut, the eastern town that saw the war's longest and bloodiest battle before falling to Moscow in May.

Since then, he's helped evacuate civilians and deliver essential supplies to people who'd otherwise go without, he said.
While not naming Ihnat, Global Affairs Canada confirmed the death of a Canadian citizen in Ukraine. Meanwhile, The United Nations' Humanitarian Coordinator for Ukraine, Denise Brown, confirmed the death of two foreign national volunteers.Oake said Ihnat has been volunteering in Ukraine since March of 2022, and has recently been volunteering with another organization.
