More than 10 months after being wounded while covering Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Fox News correspondent Benjamin Hall made his first live on-air contribution Thursday morning.
While appearing on Fox & Friends, Hall said he is seeing progress in his recovery.
“I feel strong, I feel more confident than I ever have,” Hall said. “I think that you learn a lot going through things like this, and I was surrounded by so many wonderful people. That’s why I’m here today. I look forward to everything that comes ahead.”
On March 14th, 2022, Hall was wounded in an attack by the Russian military outside the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. He lost part of his leg, both feet, permanent damage to one of his hands, and was also blinded in one eye. Producer Oleksandra Kuvshynova and videographer Pierre Zakrzewski were both killed in the attack.
Hall made the appearance to promote his upcoming book Saved: A War Reporter’s Mission To Make It Home, which will tell the tale of his injuries and his never-give-up attitude.
“This book is about being saved,” the Fox News correspondent said. “It’s being saved by all of these people, and it’s that understanding that can give you so much strength. And we all think about Pierre every day, I think that is really important for us to do. And I think of my family every day, and I went through everything thanks to them. You have to remember those close things to you and keep fighting every day.”
