The second Briton killed fighting for Ukraine in the struggle against Russian forces

Jordan Gatley, a former member of the British Army, has become the second Briton killed fighting for Ukraine in its struggle against Russian forces, as his family said.

Gatley was killed in the battle for the city of Severodonetsk in the east of Ukraine, the site of brutal fighting as Ukrainian forces sought to prevent the Russian takeover of the area.

His family said he left the British military in March 2022 and traveled to fight for Ukraine “after careful consideration.”

The British Foreign Office did not provide details but said, “We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Ukraine.”

He is the second Briton reported to be killed in the Russian war.
