The American diplomat who died suddenly on June 24 in Kiev’s Hilton hotel was military adviser Richard (Rich) Harry Kirlin. This is reported by the publication “Strana.ua”.
Obituary about him published on the American site of online memorial Legacy.
“Kirlin has a long record: service in the US Air Force, work in the field of information technology and logistics, close connection with the Central Command of the American armed forces (CENTCOM), working directly in the Pentagon, and then in the State Department”, – writes the edition.
It is noted that to the Embassy of the United States in Kiev Kirlin was seconded quite recently – he arrived in Ukraine 10 days before his death. According to the media, he was dealing with the issue of supplying F-16 fighter jets.
In late June, the US embassy in Kiev confirmed the death of the employee, but did not specify his name, field of activity or cause of death.
