Former British Soldier Fighting For Ukraine Shot And Killed By Russians Family

Jordan Gatli’s devastated parents wrote on Facebook that their son had been shot and killed by Russian forces in the eastern city of Sheverodonetsk, which is said to now have at least two-thirds under Russian control. “He was truly a hero and will forever be in our hearts,” Jordan’s father, Dean Gatley, wrote on Saturday. “Jordan left the British Army in March this year to pursue a career as a soldier in other areas. “The war against Europe had begun, so after careful consideration, he went to Ukraine to help.” It is not clear exactly when Jordan died and how old the fallen soldier was. “We had a lot of messages from his team out there telling us about his wealth of knowledge, his skills as a soldier and his love for his job,” his father said. “His team says that everyone loved him, as we did, and he made a huge difference in the lives of many people, not only by enlisting, but also by training Ukrainian forces.” Smoke and dirt rise from bombings in the city of Severodonetsk on June 7, 2022.

Facebook / Dean Gatley Severodonetsk has been the focus of a Russian offensive in Ukraine in recent days as the Kremlin has redoubled its strategy to occupy the Donbas region. Both the Ukrainians and the Russians stated that the opposing side had suffered significant casualties in the fighting. Last week, two other British nationals were arrested by Russians while fighting on behalf of Ukraine and sentenced to death. The leader of Russia’s pro-Russian separatist region of Donetsk said on Sunday that the two soldiers would not be pardoned because they were guilty of “mercenary activities”. The Russians also arrested a Moroccan soldier who volunteered for Ukraine. With postal cables
