The bravery of Jordan Maclachlan, a Scot who died while serving as a medic in Ukraine, was remembered at the service.
A Ukrainian diplomat expressed gratitude to Scotland for its support during a somber service marking three years of the war in Ukraine. Held at the National War Memorial in Edinburgh, the event included wreath-laying in memory of those who died, including Jordan Maclachlan, a Scottish medic killed while serving in Ukraine. Attendees included MSPs, councillors, military representatives, and members of the Ukrainian community. The First Minister read scripture, and a choir performed the Ukrainian national anthem. The diplomat emphasized Ukraine's ongoing resistance and the need for strength in any negotiations. The Prime Minister is discussing plans for a post-war reassurance force in Ukraine, while a Ukrainian student in Scotland highlighted the importance of securing independence for future generations.
