An Israeli citizen who was killed in Ukraine called his partner shortly before being fatally shot, saying, I don\u2019t want to die.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roman Brodsky, 37, was gunned down while in his vehicle, apparently by Ukrainian forces who mistook him for a Chechen soldier. He made the phone call to his partner as the gunfire broke out, his father, Yafim, told<\/a> Israeli public broadcaster Kan<\/em>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yafim praised his son\u2019s partner for not leaving his body behind, explaining, She stayed there in spite of the fact that she was in danger and did not leave the body, and we admire her for that so much.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ask for help to bring my son and his girlfriend back to Israel so we can bury him here,\u201d he said.MARCH 1, 2022 9:44 AM2<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

i24 News – Israel on Tuesday ended its state of emergency in place since the start of the Covid pandemic…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brodsky\u2019s partner is still in Ukraine with his body and finding it difficult to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex Miller, described as a close friend of Brodsky, told<\/a> news site Walla<\/em> that he warned Brodsky against staying in Ukraine, to no avail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We talked every day; we\u2019ve been friends for 20 years,\u201d Miller said. When Miller warned Brodsky the situation was dangerous, he laughed at me; he didn\u2019t think it would happen. I told him to get out of there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone is broken and we\u2019ve received extremely difficult news,\u201d Miller added. It\u2019s an extremely difficult and sad morning for the family and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We knew 20 minutes after\u201d the incident, he said. His partner called screaming and said that Roman is gone and they shot him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was a man who everything he touched was a success,\u201d Miller said of his friend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
