A man educated at British universities who volunteered to fight for Vladimir Putin has been killed in Ukraine.
Russian Alexander Tomarev, 27, was buried in Volgograd, only one month after enlisting with Russian forces.
Reports in Russia say he was the son of a former Russian official now running a private security company, and had studied in Britain for eight years at school and universities.
He volunteered for enlistment, telling friends: “If I don’t go, then who will?”
