Months before Russian troops attacked Ukraine, American Jimmy Hill went there to be with his Ukranian partner, Ira, who has multiple sclerosis. When war broke out, Hill stayed, despite the deteriorating conditions in the northern Ukrainian city of Chernihiv.
"He was not going to leave Ira's side in her condition," Hill's sister Katya told CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront." "Jim was in Ukraine this time because he had gotten medicine from the United States and had found a doctor in Chernihiv that would treat her."
Hill was among dozens of civilians killed by the Russian onslaught Thursday in Chernihiv.
