SAS veterans step up to help – fearsome UK team to join Ukraine's fight against Russia
Retired UK special forces soldiers have reportedly volunteered for missions inside Ukraine. The veterans, aged between 40 and 60, have fought around the world including Afghanistan and Iraq.
Among them are highly-trained snipers and experts in the use of anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles. It is understood the operation will be funded by an unnamed European country via a private military company.
The plan is a way of backing Ukraine militarily without officially sending serving British troops
.More than a dozen of the veterans have reportedly already arrived in Ukraine and more will travel this week.
