A British man who was killed in Ukraine has been named as Jonathan Shenkin.

The 45-year-old’s family paid tribute to him on social media, describing him as a hero who died “in an act of bravery as a paramedic”.

Mr Shenkin, from Glasgow, is one of eight Britons known to have died in the fighting in Ukraine since Russia invaded last year.

The Foreign Office has said it is supporting the family.

His family said: “On enlisting in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, he made the ultimate sacrifice to defend values we all believe in.

“He is survived by his son and daughter, to whom he was devoted.”

Born and raised in Glasgow, he lived in London and Malta before joining the Israeli army.
