A British citizen has been killed in a voluntary medical operation in Ukraine. The British Foreign Office confirmed to the AFP news agency on Thursday that it “helped the family of a Briton who died in Ukraine and was in contact with local authorities”. He was helping an injured comrade when he was mortally wounded.
Her brother “courageously offered” to save lives “in this war-torn country,” his sister Lorna Mackintosh wrote on the crowdfunding website GoFundMe, which she is using to raise money to transport the body to the UK.
Family: “Stranded in morgue”
According to his sister, Craig Mackintosh, from Norfolk in the east of England, died on August 24. According to the BBC, he was fatally shot in the neck while administering first aid to an injured colleague. “This selfless man is currently stranded in a morgue in Ukraine with no help to get him home,” Lorna Mackintosh wrote of her brother.
According to Lorna Mackintosh, the return of the body costs about 4600 euros. On Thursday, their crowdfunding campaign had already more than doubled that goal.
