A Glasgow man killed in Ukraine has been named by friends and family.
Jonathan 'Jony' Shenkin died 'a hero' his brother Daniel said.
The 45-year-old was working as a paramedic in the war torn country and is one of eight Brits who have died in the conflict over the last year.

Daniel posted on Facebook: "Jony Shenkin died as a hero in an act of bravery as a paramedic, receiving a medal for 'Valour In Combat'.
"On enlisting in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, he made the ultimate sacrifice to defend values we all believe in."
Mr Shenkin was born and raised in Glasgow and lived in both London and Malta before joining the Israeli army.
His loving brother added: "Throughout his life he took reward in helping others, whether it be through volunteer work, training authorities, close protection or rescue.
"As well as volunteering his skills during natural disasters in the Philippines, he devoted much of his time to good causes."
The military man later ran his own security business and worked in Iraq, Afghanistan, Oman, Somalia, Angola, South Korea and the Phillipines, where he received multiple awards for the training he provided.
A Foreign Office spokesperson said they are supporting the man's family.
They also advise that travel to Ukraine during the Russian invasion should be avoided and is 'a real risk to life'.
