Myroniuk was a U.S. citizen born in Ukraine who worked as a truck driver until he decided to return to Ukraine in 2014 to cover the Maidan protests. He later began covering the war between Ukraine and separatist forces in the eastern Donbas regions as well as the recent fighting with Russian forces. Myroniuk died on September 26 while documenting soldier's lives on the front-line as they came under heavy Russian shelling. His daughter, Oleksandra Myroniuk remembered him as someone who was always smiling, no matter where he was. She said he would take his camera everywhere, adding that it was "his weapon" and "his life." He went by the call-sign ‘John,’ and Ukrainian soldiers had given him a truck with a plate bearing his name. He was cremated in a Kyiv cemetery and will be buried in the village where he was originally born, near the western Ukrainian city of Lviv. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
