KYIV — Hours before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was publicly scolded by U.S. President Donald Trump for not being sufficiently thankful in Washington on Friday, Ukrainian troops marched through their capital’s central square, carrying a casket draped in U.S. and Ukrainian flags.
Inside lay U.S. Marine Ethan Hertweck, 21, killed in action near the eastern city of Avdiivka in late 2023, and whose body was taken by Russia and only recently returned to Ukraine. His family came from Missouri to bid him farewell.
