UK national and former soldier Jordan Gatley got killed in the battle for Severodonetsk, his father Dean Gatley announced on Facebook.
"Yesterday (10/06/22) we received the devastating news that our son, Jordan, has been shot and killed in the city of Severodonetsk, Ukraine," he said.
"Jordan left the British Army in March this year to continue his career as a soldier in other areas. The war against Europe had begun so, after caerful consideration, he went to the Ukraine to help," Dean Gatley explained.
"We have had several messages from his team out there telling us of his wealth of knowledge, his skills as a soldier and his love of his job. His team say they all loved him, as did we, and he made a massive difference to many people's lives, not only soldiering, but also by training the Ukrainian forces," he added.
