The family of a Ukrainian translator and “fixer” filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Fox News and a series of other defendants, claiming that the network was “reckless and negligent” and has tried to conceal key information for what happened when a crew was attacked outside of Kyiv on March 14, 2022.
The lawsuit was filed by Andriy Kuvshynov and Irina Mamaysur, the parents of Oleksandra “Sasha” Kuvshynova, an independent contractor who was killed in the attack as the network crew was reporting on the latest in the Russian invasion. Cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski also was killed, and correspondent Benjamin Hall was seriously wounded.
Another plaintiff in the lawsuit, Shane Thomson, who was employed by Separ, a security firm retained by the network. He claimed that he was scapegoated in the aftermath of the attack.
The lawsuit was filed in New York Supreme Court on Thursday, the second anniversary of the attack.
