A British national has died in Ukraine, a spokesperson from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has confirmed.
They said: "We are supporting the family of a British national who died in Ukraine, and are in contact with the local authorities."
The dead person is a man, according to the BBC, but further details remain unconfirmed.
In January, Andrew Bagshaw and Christopher Parry were killed in eastern Ukraine when they were helping to evacuate civilians near Soledar, in the Donetsk region.
Ukrainian police said officers were told at around 5.15pm the following day that the two men, who are “citizens of Great Britain, aged 28 and 48”, had disappeared.
News of the latest fatality comes as it was today announced that a one-minute silence will be held on February 24 across the UK to mark a year since Russia’s barbaric invasion of Ukraine.
The minute’s silence next Friday will offer the UK public the chance to pay tribute to the bravery of Ukrainians, as they continue their courageous fight.
The Government is encouraging individuals and organisations across the UK to participate.
Since the war began last February, thousands of Ukrainians have been killed defending their freedom from Russia’s appalling onslaught.
The Prime Minister will lead the moment of reflection from Downing Street at 11am to show the UK’s unwavering solidarity with the country.
Millions more have been forced from their homes, with 114,400 Ukrainians finding refuge in the UK under the Homes for Ukraine Scheme.
Rishi Sunak said: “As we approach the anniversary of Russia’s barbaric and deplorable invasion of Ukraine, as a nation we pay tribute to the incredible bravery and resilience of the Ukrainian people.
“Russia’s unjustifiable attack brought war and destruction to our continent once again, and it has forced millions from their homes and devastated families across Ukraine and Russia.
“I am incredibly proud of the UK’s response, and throughout this past year, the UK public have shown their true generosity of spirit and their enduring belief in freedom.”
The national minute’s silence comes following the historic visit of Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky to the UK last week.
During the visit, the Prime Minister underlined the UK’s steadfast commitment to supporting Ukraine for the long term, ensuring it can secure a lasting peace.
President Zelensky delivered an address in Westminster Hall last Wednesday , the first foreign leader to do so since ex-US President Barack Obama gave a speech there in 2011.
The heroic war leader vowed that "freedom will win" and said victory over Russia would "change the world" in his first visit to London since Vladimir Putin's brutal invasion began nearly a year ago.
Hundreds of MPs, peers, staff and journalists applauded and cheered as he made a passionate address praising the "brave souls" of the UK for their support on behalf of his people.
