That’s according to the BBC, Ukrinform reports.
According to his family, Jordan McLachlan, 26, originally from Ardnamurchan, volunteered to help Ukraine after Russia’s full-scale invasion and volunteered to join the Ukrainian Army three years ago.
His family said he died on Friday, January 3, while serving on the frontline.
