A Brit ex-paratrooper is undergoing major brain surgery in Ukraine after being injured in a major tank battle on Monday which killed another British volunteer fighter.
The unnamed casualty was airlifted to a hospital in the west of Ukraine and it has been reported he is in critical condition.
Simon Lingard, a fellow Parachute Regiment veteran, was sadly killed and another British volunteer was injured as their unit engaged a column of Russian tanks near Bakhmut in the east.
