Ex-British Army soldier killed by Russian drone near Zaporizhzhia

A former British Army soldier who joined the Ukrainian fight against Russia has been killed by a drone in the southern region of Zaporizhzhia.

Jake Waddington, 34, had seen action with the Ukrainian army in some of its most brutal battles, including in the Donbas city of Bakhmut, and had served in the International Legion for more than a year.

The former Durham University student died on Monday when a Russian drone dropped a grenade on his position during a reconnaissance mission.

He was said to have been yards away from a Russian trench when he and a comrade were gathering intelligence.

The second soldier survived the blast but is in a critical condition.
