A 22-year-old British volunteer has died while fighting Russian forces in Ukraine.
"I cannot put into words how broken I feel," Mr Newey said in a Facebook post. "I also cannot emphasise how proud I am of my little brother.
"He'd just turned 21 when he decided to answer the call and travel to Ukraine to push back against Russian Imperialism."Not only are you my little brother, but you're an exceptional man, a good soldier and one of the bravest people I ever had the privilege of knowing.Sam Newey and his brother.It comes after two British aid workers Chris Parry, 28, and Andrew Bagshaw, 47, died in Ukraine.
The pair went missing in the country in January en route to the town of Soledar, in the eastern Donetsk region of the country, after it was initially believed their vehicle was hit by an artillery shell. Post-mortem examinations conducted in the UK revealed signs of abuse and execution, according to the family of Mr Bagshaw, who held dual British-New Zealand citizenship.
His parents said the findings suggested the pair were taken hostage and tortured before they were killed.
