On March 13, Kane Te Tai said that he and his fellow soldiers managed to capture Russian positions on the battlefield. Checking the captured positions, he heard a shout: "I am Ukrainian." The New Zealander stopped the other soldiers from throwing a grenade. According to Kane Te Tai, the Ukrainian recognized him and shouted: "New Zealand! New Zealand!"

"I recognised him, it was my friend who I thought was killed by the Russians when they invaded his house. Heavily starved for two months and forced to drink anti freeze for entertainment, he barely looked like the man I knew a couple of months ago. But it was the best thing to happen to me in this God forsaken war. To be able to save your friends is something that almost never happens but I'm thankful and feel blessed that it was us that could pull him from that Hell hole," Kane Te Tai wrote and posted a video of what happened.

Kane Te Tai is the third citizen of New Zealand killed in the war in Ukraine. Dominic Abelen died last August - his body has still not been found. Volunteer Andrew Bagshaw was killed by artillery fire in January while trying to rescue an elderly woman from her home.

RIP Kane.
