He was just an 18-year-old student when Russia invaded Ukraine, and within weeks had crossed the border to volunteer.
Ben Atkin is the youngest known Briton to travel to Ukraine to join the war.
Tonight, he tells this programme about his experiences. The Foreign Office says they don’t know exactly how many UK nationals have gone to Ukraine – or how many have lost their lives.
But an investigation for this programme has heard accounts of chaos in Ukraine’s foreign legion – with claims of poor organisation and a lack of training and kit – and unverified claims that more than 20 British volunteers have been killed.
This exclusive report is the first part of our series on Brits on the frontline.

I know we tell neocons to sign up to the Ukrainian foreign legion and fight themselves but here's an actual account from someone who did!
“OK…..You foreigners move out and draw fire.”
“Why go there?”
They would have been bullied and called Putin Puffers if they didn’t.

Senior US officers in the war with Russia in Ukraine
Soldiers of the 4th Security Force Assistance Brigade of the US Department of Defense (4 Security Force Assistance Brigade, SFAB) have been transferred to the territory of Ukraine.
This connection is in 2020. The tasks are education, training, consulting, assistance to “US partners” around the world. SFAB officers are preparing Odessa, Nikolaev, Zaporozhye, Dnipro for defense following the example of Mariupol, using the population as a shield, placing weapons and equipment under the cover of schools, kindergartens, hospitals. They organize channels for the supply of Western weapons and training in their use.
Directly in the organization and participation in hostilities in urban areas are SFAB officers:
- Lieutenant Colonel Sean Robert Shields;
- Lieutenant Colonel Michael Patrick Tumlin;
- Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Stephen Sylvain.
Someone here once called us Putineers. I guess they don’t realize that it is the puppeteer who controls the puppets, which then makes us people who control Putin. That exemplifies just how ignorant these cheerleaders really are. 🙂
Ukraine sends willing foreign volunteers into the field to fight for them. Why would anyone expect it be any other way?
What the heck to they expect? They haven’t trained with nor can they be integrated into fire teams on such short notice.
It was the same with foreigners who went to fight for the Communists in Spain in 1936. Hemingway was damned lucky to be made an ambulance driver.
If you’re dumb enough to believe globalist media outlets, then you’re useful enough to collect bullets on their behalf.
Didn’t take very long for him to learn that war isn’t like the movies or a video game.... No reset button or start over and try again.....
Oh well at least they die thinking they made some sort of convoluted difference defending the corrupt laundromat 🤪
And Orwell was lucky to have gotten out with his life, he was fighting with the Anarchists and was almost erased in a purge by his “allies”, the Republicans (Communists). Homage to Catalonia was his book about this time. It is a short, quick, worthwhile read that provides some/much of the basis for 1984 and Animal Farm.
utter fools who volunteer to die for neocon globalist elites’ wet-dreams.
Its not your country, not your people, not your culture. What minimal understanding these dupes have of the situation is the mind-altering psychedelic of western media propaganda being spoon-fed to them.
Let the bombs fly! Nuke the planet!
The 1922/1954/1991 “The Ukraine” borders are 100% worth destroying the entire planet over!
The Brain Washing device (otherwise known as the TV/MSM) told him to go. It didn’t turn out like he thought it would.
But the USA Uni-party have provided Ukraine with $43+ Billion, that should certainly win the USA proxy war against Russia, eh. Hahahaha!
Most imbeciles don’t even realize how much money that is and, to top that, they won’t admit how corrupt the Uni-party, Soros, CIA, Schwab and his WEF followers are. They continue their unabashed support for them in the WWIII catalyst war.
After working their way to the final level and dealing death to a 100 ft tall elephantaurus, killing a few Russkies should have been a breeze.
Travis, do you have the meme/graphic suggesting supporters of the war sign up to the foreign legion? That one is good as well...
It’s awful hard to cure stupid!
Does being a bullet catcher pay well?
This doesn’t surprise me at all...
.
things just get worse for Z and his ukes.
.Russia recaptured a town with name that sounds like Turnover for the umpteenth time.. Russians on video casually walking around in Severo , going,going ....
ukes who crossed river at David Bird and then stopped at Brewsky may no longer exist - DPA estimated ukes lost 10-20 vehicles and 100-200 troops.
