A British man killed in Ukraine has been named by family and friends as Jonathan Shenkin, from Glasgow.
A family tribute on social media said Shenkin, 45, “died as a hero in an act of bravery as a paramedic”.
He is one of eight British men known to have died in Ukraine.
The Foreign Office said it was supporting the man’s family.
In a post on Facebook, Shenkin’s family said he died in Ukraine in December.
“On enlisting in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, he made the ultimate sacrifice to defend values we all believe in,” they added.
“He is survived by his son and daughter, to whom he was devoted.”
His family said he spent much of his life helping others.
Shenkin was born and raised in Glasgow and had lived in London and Malta before serving in the Israeli army.
