A 26-year-old Scot, Jordan Maclachlan, has died while fighting as a medic on the front lines in Ukraine. He volunteered to help the Ukrainian army after the Russian invasion in 2022.
A Scot has been killed while serving as a medic on the frontline in Ukraine, his family have confirmed. Jordan Maclachlan, from Ardnamurchan in the Highlands, volunteered to help the Ukrainian army after Russia's invasion in February 2022. Jordan's family said the 26-year-old - who joined Ukraine's army soon after volunteering three years ago - died on Friday while serving on the frontline.
In a statement, they told the BBC: 'Jordan always believed that he was making a difference and we are all so proud of him helping others. We are waiting for further information from the Foreign Office as information is very limited. Jordan was a fun-loving son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and a friend to many and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.' The family asked for privacy. A Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office spokesperson told the BBC: 'We are supporting the family of a British man who died in Ukraine and are in contact with the local authorities.' The FCDO advises against all travel to certain parts, external of Ukraine and all but essential travel to other areas of the country. A number of Scots have made the perilous trip since the Russian invasion was launched on February 24 2022
