Emergency services raced to the scene but were unable to resuscitate him.

The Sun understands the death is not being treated as suspicious.

The man, believed to be in his mid-20s, was discovered by comrades at around 8pm in a room used to dry wet clothes.

Civilian police and paramedics attended but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The man, believed to be in his mid-20s, was one of over 50,000 Ukrainian soldiers who have been trained in the UK, as part of Operation Interflex, to defend their country against Russia.

The troops learn infantry tactics, trench warfare and how to defend themselves from drones in an intense five week course.

The Sun has not revealed the location of the camp as some bases used to train Ukrainian troops have been targeted by Russian spies.

A Ministry of Defence spokesperson said: “It is with immense sadness that we can confirm the death of a Ukrainian soldier in the UK on June 4, 2025.”
