A British "war participant" named Jason Hague who went to Ukraine told his story in the "Sun" on the 10th.
Jason, who worked as a medic in the British army, came to Ukraine with the idea of "helping Ukraine resist Russia" in the recent Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and won him the title of "Lion of Britain". He claimed to have engaged in firefights with Russian troops in many locations and showed reporters his weapons and photographs taken during the fighting.
Whether it was Jason's own statement or the reporter's own processing, the Sun portrayed Jason's experience in Ukraine as a divine, British media full of Cold War mentality, referring to the Russian army as the "Red Army" in the name of the Soviet army, and exaggerated jason's "fierce battle with the other side for a long time in order to fight for the airport".
Jason himself claimed that the battle was fought while he was still asleep, and he and his comrades were awakened by the sound of gunfire and immediately plunged into the fierce battle. But at the same time, he showed a photograph of the two sides exchanging fire, and it seemed that the battle was not as fierce as he portrayed.
What makes the author even more suspicious is that although Jason claims to have come to the local area to help Ukraine, from the first picture above, Jason is suspected of wearing a "black sun" symbol with Nazi meaning, which was worn by many Ukrainian soldiers in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
But the most dramatic scene in Jason's experience is after the battle. Just after a combat mission, Jason was treated as a "Russian spy" by the Ukrainian intelligence service because he was carrying a pistol and some military equipment, and although Jason repeatedly explained that he was British, the other party still let people constantly "shout" at him in Russian.
"I felt very painful at that moment, I wasn't afraid of death, but I was afraid that my family and friends would feel pain and sadness when they learned what happened to me," Jason told reporters.
