Taras Protsyuk

From the news reports:

Linnebank said Reuters was devastated by the death of Protsyuk, who leaves a widow Lidia and eight-year-old son Denis.

Protsyuk, who had worked in Chechnya, Afghanistan, Bosnia and Kosovo, was one of Reuters' most experienced television journalists and part of an 18-member Reuters team in Baghdad.

"Taras's death, and the injuries sustained by the others, were so unnecessary," the editor-in-chief said in a statement.
