The family of a British man missing in Ukraine say they are “very worried” about his health and whereabouts.

Chris Parry, 28, was last seen on Friday with Andrew Bagshaw, 48, heading to the town of Soledar, which has seen intense fighting in recent days.

The two men had been working as volunteers helping people evacuate from the frontline of the war.

Mr Parry’s family said: “We are very worried and concerned about the health and whereabouts of Chris right now.

“He is an extraordinary person who is compassionate and caring and would not be dissuaded from his work in Ukraine liberating elderly and disabled people, which we are very proud of.

“We, his family and partner, all love him very much and would be grateful if our privacy could be respected at this difficult time.”

Mr Parry, originally from Truro in Cornwall but living in Cheltenham, had travelled to Ukraine last year to do humanitarian work after the Russian invasion.

He said he had a “drive to help” while speaking to BBC Cornwall from Ukraine over Christmas last year.
