💬 'I've fought in a lot of places but that was something else' A British fighter injured in Ukraine has told how he was lashed with shrapnel as his heavily outnumbered unit held off 200 Russians during a 30-hour battle 💬 'It really is terrifying'
A British man who received multiple shrapnel wounds while fighting in Ukraine has described a brutal battle in which his heavily outnumbered team fought 200 Russians
“It didn’t stop for a long time. We survived 30 hours. We were on the trenchline fighting non-stop for hours and hours. The soldiers, working as a quick reaction force to support Ukrainian forces, had taken up positions in occupied Russian territory behind natural mud fortifications. “So we had to go down into the dugout while we were still fighting to patch ourselves up because everyone else was busy fighting as we were so heavily outnumbered.”
“When we were patched up when we were all injured and when we were getting to the point where we couldn’t fight anymore, we were like, right, we have to make a choice,” he said The soldier, who spent seven years in the British Army’s The Rifles, still has shrapnel embedded in his eye and is recovering from his wounds. But he hopes to receive specialist treatment in Ukraine or Poland soon as “I don’t want to be out of the fight any longer”.
