During the interview, Mr Urey claimed he wanted to visit Ukraine 'to see if it was as bad as the news said' but it is not known if he was speaking under duress.
'I told him not to go'
UK non-profit organisation Presidium Network said Mr Urey is a"family man with children" who didn't qualify for the army, so pursued work in the humanitarian sector. Mr Urey last contacted the Presidium Network at 4am. Since then, they have received messages from someone claiming to be the volunteer, but who was unable to provide personal details to confirm their identity.She said:"I don't know what to do anymore. It's horrible."
Ms Urey added:"I told him not to go. I said please don't go, he said: 'Mum, I can't live with myself knowing that people need my help to get to a safe place. I have to go'." It comes after a British army veteran was killed and another British man went missing after they were believed to have travelled to Ukraine to fight against Russian forces.
