Ukrainian marine commander killed fighting Russian invaders

A Ukrainian commander killed during Russia's invasion has been labeled "selfless" and a "hero," following his death.

Senior Lieutenant Pavlo Sbytov commanded his country's 503rd marine battalion, the Ukrainian defense ministry said.

The 27-year-old native of the western city of Lviv became the first in his family to join the Ukrainian military, doing so at the age of 15, the ministry's information agency reported.
