[English - The Hong Kong authority (which leans toward Russia) has confirmed their death.](https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/politics/article/3337909/requests-help-after-2-hongkongers-reportedly-killed-ukraine-war)

For their belief in freedom, they traveled to a distant country they had never been to, stepped onto the battlefield, and fought against invaders to protect strangers they had never met.

This past December, after only one month of training, Pin and Water were sent on their first—and unfortunately, their last—mission.
Even though they knew that they might die, they did not withdraw.
Their ages forever stopped at 23 and 30, but their will lives forever.

In 2019, 2 million people in Hong Kong marched in the streets for freedom.
The Hong Kong government opened fire at the people.
In today’s Hong Kong, secret police are everywhere, monitoring every word of the people.

In 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine with the goal of installing a puppet regime and placing the Ukrainian people under Putin’s authoritarian rule.
Pin and Water knew that if Ukraine was occupied by Russia, the atrocities inflicted on the people of Hong Kong would be repeated on the people of Ukraine.

That is why they went to Ukraine to fight.
Their sacrifice reminds us at every moment that freedom is not free.

Slava Ukraini!
Glory to Hong Kong!
