An ex-British soldier who had been helping refugees and training Ukrainians how to defend themselves has been killed in the war-torn country.
Julian Thorn, also known as Jay, had travelled to Ukraine to “share the skills” he had learned after serving in the Fusiliers and during tours of Afghanistan.
The 36-year-old was recently killed in a car crash in the country and fiancee Louise Lathbury has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money to repatriate his body.
