Russia has concentrated its air force and artillery in the city and turned it into ruins, but Ukrainian troops say they are still fighting in the city despite Russia’s enormous firepower.
Dean Gatley, who lives in Cheshire, posted on Facebook that the family had received “devastating news” that his son had been shot and killed on Friday.
“Jordan left the British Army in March this year to pursue a career as a soldier in other areas,” he said. “The war against Europe had begun, so after careful consideration he went to Ukraine to help.
“We received several messages from his team there telling us about his wealth of knowledge, his skills as a soldier and his love of his job.
“His team says that everyone loves him as much as we do, and he has made a huge difference in the lives of many people, not only as soldiers, but also through the training of Ukrainian forces.
“Jordan and his team were so proud of the work they were doing, and he often told me that the missions they were carrying out were dangerous but necessary. He loved his job and we are so proud of him. He really was a hero and will be in our hearts forever. “
