A British man has been killed in Ukraine and a second is missing, the foreign office said.
It is thought the pair were fighting against invading Russian forces as volunteers supporting Ukraine’s army, according to reports.
A spokesperson for the foreign office said: “We can confirm that a British national has been killed in Ukraine and are supporting their family.”
On the missing man, the spokesperson said: “We are aware of a British national who is missing in Ukraine and are supporting their family. We are urgently seeking further information.”
The foreign office did not provide details of what the pair had been doing in Ukraine.
Nor did it say when the man was killed or the other went missing.
The foreign office has advised British nationals against travelling to Ukraine since Russia invaded, warning of a real risk to life.
