Aid worker shot dead by Russian 'death squad' after refusing to leave animals

An aid worker was shot dead by a Russian “death squad” as she delivered food to a local dog shelter, after refusing to evacuate so she could save the animals.

Anastasiia Yalanskaya, a 26-year-old recruiter, was slaughtered on Thursday alongside two other volunteers, as they took the supplies to a dog shelter in Bucha, 18 miles outside of Kyiv.
