Two British aid volunteers have gone missing from Ukraine's frontline, according to reports from local police. Andrew Bagshaw, 48, and Christopher Parry, 28, were last seen on January 6, when they were helping with evacuation efforts near Soledar, in the Donetsk region.
The city is in the eastern Bakhmut region, where Ukrainian troops have been involved in heavy fighting with Russian forces. Aid workers have been helping civilians to escape the area, with evacuations often carried out during Russian attacks, the Mirror reports.
At 5.15pm on January 7, Ukrainian police were told that two men, who are “citizens of Great Britain, aged 28 and 48”, had disappeared. Authorities confirmed a search has been launched for the pair, while the Foreign Office said they are aware of reports that the two are missing.
