NZ aid worker's death in Ukraine: Family proud, but struggling

From Checkpoint, 5:27 pm on 25 January 2023

The parents of a New Zealand aid worker killed in Ukraine say they're struggling to cope with his death, but are very proud of what he has done.

Andrew Bagshaw had been delivering humanitarian aid since April last year, but went missing early January.

A few days after Andrew disappered, paramilitary Russian group Wagner announced a body had been found in Ukraine carrying the passports and other documents of the missing men.

His parents spoke today at the charity hospital they helped set up in Christchurch.

Our reporter Rachel Graham and cameraman Nathan McKinnon were there.
