Grandi was an American artist. He came to Kyiv because he was suppressed that the United States turned away from the war in Ukraine, the newspaper writes. According to his relatives, he arrived in the Ukrainian capital at the end of May, shortly before his 62nd birthday, and volunteered to clear the rubble that remained after Russian attacks.
The sister of the deceased Sitsk Reed said that she was talking to him about five days ago. He said that he plans to stay for another five or six months. According to his sister, Grandi came to Ukraine mainly due to the turn of the US position regarding the war. He was upset that although under the previous President Joe Bayden the US was an ally of Ukraine, the current president Donald Trump preferred the illegitimate president of the aggressor country of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, the woman said.
“He thought that you could not allow the bully to do such things and you can’t just throw people,” she added. According to the woman, Grandi saw how Ukrainians stubbornly fight. He just believed that people needed help, Rid noted.
