A Scot has been killed while serving as a medic with the Ukrainian army, his family has said.

Jordan Maclachlan, 26, from Ardnamurchan, volunteered to help Ukraine after Russia’s invasion in February 2022.

His family said he died on Friday while serving on the frontline.

In a statement, they said: “Jordan always believed that he was making a difference and we are all so proud of him helping others.”

Mr Maclachlan’s family said he joined Ukraine’s army soon after volunteering three years ago.

They said: “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 at a difficult time.

A Foreign Office spokesperson said: “We are supporting the family of a British man who died in Ukraine and are in contact with the local authorities.”
