22-year-old Briton killed during fighting in eastern Ukraine

A Briton has been killed during fighting in eastern Ukraine, his family has said.

Samuel Newey, a 22-year-old from Solihull, had been volunteering as a fighter in Ukraine for more than a year before he was killed.

In a Facebook post, his brother Daniel Newey said: “My little brother Sam was killed in action yesterday in Eastern Ukraine.

"I can't put into words how broken I feel. I also cannot stress enough how proud I am of my little brother. He had just turned 21 when he decided to answer the call and travel to Ukraine to fight back against Russian Imperialism," he said.

Newey is the latest Briton to die in Ukraine, with others including Simon Lingard, 38, from Blackburn, and Jordan Gatley, who died fighting Russian forces in the Ukrainian town of Sievierodonetsk in June.

Scott Sibley, 36, died in late April in Mykolaiv after a drone dropped mortars on his regiment, and Craig Mackintosh, from Norfolk, was killed while volunteering as a medic in Ukraine in August.

Paul Urey, a British aid worker, died last July while being arrested by Russian-backed separatists./ CNA
