Benjamin Hall was injured in the attack near Kyiv on March 14
(Picture: Twitter )A British Fox News journalist who lost part of his leg and foot after being attacked by Russian forces near Kyiv has said he is “pretty damn lucky” to be alive.
Benjamin Hall, 39, survived an attack by the Russian army which killed two of his team in the town of Horenka last month.
Shortly after the attack, Mr Hall was evacuated out of Ukraine and underwent surgery at a hospital in Texas.
"To sum it up, I've lost half a leg on one side and a foot on the other. One hand is being put together, one eye is no longer working, and my hearing is pretty blown," Mr Hall said in a Twitter post along with a photo of himself on a stretcher, wearing an eye patch.
"But all in all I feel pretty damn lucky to be here - and it is the people who got me here who are amazing!" he added.
In an earlier tweet, his first since the attack, Mr Hall paid tribute to his two fallen colleagues.
“It’s been over three weeks since the attack in Ukraine and I wanted to start sharing it all. But first I need to pay tribute to my colleagues Pierre and Sasha who didn’t make it that day,” he wrote.
“Pierre and I travelled the world together, working was his joy and his joy was infectious. RIP.”
Mr Hall joined Fox News in 2015 and has contributed to its foreign affairs coverage, including from the frontline of several wars.
A dual US-UK citizen, he completed both his undergraduate and graduate degrees in London.
Another US journalist, Brent Renaud, was shot and killed in Irpin last month. Two other journalists were injured.
Mr Zakrewzski was a veteran war photographer who had covered multiple conflicts for Fox, including in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria. He had been working in Ukraine since February.
Ms Kuvshynova had been helping Fox's crews navigate Kyiv and the surrounding area while gathering information and speaking with sources.
