The ex-British soldier from Salisbury, Wilts, had answered President Volodymyr Zelensky’s name and was combating with a world legion.
The previous Royal Artillery gunner spent seven years within the British Military earlier than volunteering with Ukraine’s armed forces in 2023 and was killed close to Kramatorsk, a metropolis within the jap area of Ukraine.
Walker — who is just not confirmed lifeless by different sources — was mentioned to have put up a bitter battle.
Russian Lieutenant Denis Averkiev claimed: “We met extra mercenaries from different international locations than residents of Ukraine.
“The one we bear in mind most strongly — Christopher — resisted.
“He resisted for some time. He fought, apparently, to the final man, to not keep, to not give up.
“After this Christopher, there was nobody who gave us a lot resistance.”
A Overseas, Commonwealth and Growth Workplace (FCDO) spokesman instructed The Solar: “We’re supporting the household of a British man lacking in Ukraine and are in touch with the native authorities.”
Russian social media accounts shared footage of his passport and driving licence which said he lived in Salisbury, Wilts.
