A British national has been killed in Ukraine and a second is missing, the UK Foreign Office has said.

A spokesman for the Foreign Office said it was supporting the families of both people.

Referring to the missing national the spokesman said it was “urgently seeking further information”.

Details of what the two British nationals were doing in Ukraine and how or when the person died and the second went missing have not been given.

The government urged British nationals to leave Ukraine in February and has told people not to travel to the country since Russia invaded.

In the early days of the war Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said she supported individuals from the UK who might want to go to Ukraine to fight but the government has since advised against this.
