A former British soldier who went out to Ukraine to help in the war effort against Russia was unlawfuly killed by a "comrade", a coroner has found.
Daniel Burke, of Manchester, was assisting Ukrainian armed forces but was killed far from the frontline by someone he knew, his inquest was told.
Manchester Area Coroner, Zak Golombeck, said Mr Burke, 36, "died with bravery and valour and was sadly killed by cowardice and dishonour".
The suspect in the killing, an Australian national, is wanted by Ukrainian police after fleeing the war-torn country, the court was told.
