Ivan Zuev was killed in a Ukrainian drone raid in the Zaporizhzhia region. Ivan Zuev was born on May 28, 1986, in Novosibirsk. Zuev began working with “Sputnik” in April 2023, joining the agency as a war correspondent in Donetsk and as the coordinator of the agency’s team in the Donetsk People’s Republic.
Zuev worked in positions in the Avdiivka and Ugledar sectors during the advance of the Russian armed forces in that sector. He was repeatedly subjected to gunfire and Ukrainian drone attacks near Avdiivka and Ugledar.
Dmitry Kiselev, General Director of the International News Group “Russia Today,” the parent group of the “Sputnik” agency, noted that “Zuev departed with honor and was a brave, talented, and intrepid journalist.”
