A former British soldier has died fighting Russian forces in the Ukrainian city of Severodonetsk, his family have said.

Jordan Gatley left the British Army in March "to continue his career as a soldier in other areas" and flew to Ukraine soon after to help fend off Russian forces and train Ukrainian soldiers.

Announcing the news on Facebook, his father Dean wrote: "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 added: "His team say they all loved him, as did we, and he made a massive difference to many peoples lives, not only soldiering, but also by training the Ukrainian forces.


Jordan and his team were so proud of the work they were doing and he often told me that the missions they were going on were dangerous, but necessary.

"He loved his job and we are so proud of him. He truly was a hero and will forever be in our hearts."

Second Briton to die in Ukraine since war began

His son is the second Briton to have been confirmed dead in Ukraine during the war.

Scott Sibley, 36, died in late April and was also a former member of the British Armed forces.

The city of Severodonetsk has become the main focus of the Russian offensive in recent weeks.

It is one of the last areas in the occupied eastern Luhansk region that is still under Ukrainian control.

On Sunday the Ministry of Defence (MoD) posted in its latest intelligence update that "Russia is using its overmatch in force ratio and artillery to gradually seize territory in and around Severodonetsk".

What about many other UK military men that were blown apart by missiles..

It should be more than two killed in Ukraine.

The collateral damage from this war is collosal!

For this war to have lingered this far, it's obvious some powers are benefiting from it.

Keep talking rubbish, Russians are on their lands. This is a family fight, you put your head they will use you play football.

Imagine fighting for people who speaks and understand each other. Iranu

I doubt if it'd be the second to die. Many more would've died but no one noticed. Russia has bombed several training areas in Kyiv, Lviv, and other areas close to Ukraine's border with Poland where mercenaries from the West were training. I'm only sad about this dude's death because he wouldn't be able to tell his grandchildren the tales of the massive destruction and death he saw Russia apply to the Nazis in Ukraine.
