"We are waiting for further information from the Foreign Office as information is very limited. "Jordan was a fun-loving son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and a friend to many and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.". A Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office spokesperson told the BBC: "We are supporting the family of a British man who died in Ukraine and are in contact with the local authorities.".
The Foreign Office advises against all travel to certain parts of Ukraine, and all but essential travel to other areas. Several Scots have made the trip over to fight alongside the Ukrainian army following the Russian invasion on February 24, 2022. A Scots dad killed in Ukraine was described as "a hero" by his family.
