An Israeli man has been shot dead by Ukrainian troops in what's believed to be a tragic case of mistaken identity.

Roman Brodsky, a 38-year-old Israeli DJ with Ukrainian heritage, was travelling in a convoy from Kyiv to the Moldovan border on his way back to Israel.

In an interview, Mr. Brodsky's father told reporters that his son was killed at a Ukrainian army checkpoint when soldiers mistakenly believed he was a Chechen militant.

Despite his death being cause by Ukrainian soldiers, Mr. Brodsky's parents said they blamed Vladimir Putin for their son's death, branding the Russian leader a "dictator."
