 A Brit who volunteered to fight for Ukraine has been found dead. Police have been searching for the former paratrooper for a month before Ukrainian authorities found his body. Daniel Burke, who founded the Dark Angels foreign volunteer group, was working in Zaporizhzhia region of Ukraine. He had previously served in Afghanistan and Syria. His mum Diane told Manchester Evening News last week she was living in a 'nightmare' after finding out he was missing. She said: 'His boss had plans for him to travel elsewhere because he had done such a good job in Ukraine. 'It's four weeks since he went missing. I just want to know that all that can be done to find him is being done. It's been an absolute nightmare. 'I don't want it to be just brushed under the carpet. Nobody can just disappear into thin air. There has to be someone, somewhere, who knows something.' Greater Manchester Police said: 'Officers searching for missing Daniel Burke have been informed by Ukrainian authorities that they have sadly found a body. 'Daniel, from south Manchester, was reported missing on Wednesday, August 16, 2023 by family who had not heard from him believing that he had travelled to Ukraine. 'Greater Manchester Police are working with the family of the deceased and the Ukrainian authorities to support the identification of Daniel and bring him back to the United Kingdom.' Got a story?
