After the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian War, the Ukrainian army, which gradually felt difficult, decided to start conscription, released all the prisoners in their prisons to the front line to "make meritorious deeds", and also decided to form an international corps, which will be composed of all foreigners, and once someone applies to join this legion, it will directly enter Ukraine without a visa, zelenskiy hopes that "people with lofty ideals" from other countries in the world can actively participate in it and jointly "defend Ukraine".
Sure enough, as soon as the news came out, many Westerners were enthusiastically involved, and on the first day thousands of foreigners signed up, while Russia warned that the mercenaries would not enjoy the treatment of prisoners of war, and that Russia would investigate the countries and organizations behind the mercenaries. This frightened those countries enough that on the first day they were very supportive of their citizens signing up for the legion, and now they have changed their words to say that they are forbidden to join the legion in Ukraine. The British are even more ruthless, if you dare to go, come back and kill you as a terrorist, but even this is still unable to stop the hot hearts of this group of people, taking advantage of the fact that others are not paying attention and running out. Zelenskiy was naturally very happy to see these mercenaries so enthusiastic, saying that Ukraine now has an international legion of 20,000 people, and the first batch has reached Ukraine so that it can be quickly deployed.
Unexpectedly, the first batch of mercenaries came back quickly, and it was reported that Jason, a British veteran who had just returned from Ukraine, was not able to come back quickly. Haig recounts his encounter in Ukraine, where he was involved in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, worked for 7 years for a mercenary company, and was an experienced combat medic. When the retired soldier signed up, he was soon arranged by the Ukrainian military to go to Kiev and fight with other foreign soldiers in the area to defend the Ukrainian capital.
And after joining this regiment, the intensity of the battle was beyond his imagination, and one morning when the veteran soldier was still sleeping, the Russian army suddenly launched a blow, several rockets flew over his head and hit the tall buildings, and the whole of Kiev was illuminated by the fire from the rocket explosion; this also woke him up, and quickly took up his weapons and joined a nearby Ukrainian army to defend the Khostomer airfield that the Russian army was attacking. But when they arrived at the battle site, the situation was a little different, the imaginary fierce conflict did not occur, the silence here made people wonder if they had come to the wrong place, but it was not long before the Russian helicopters appeared with the Ukrainian rockets and began a fierce battle; this retired soldier and others had never seen this battle, and the small places where the mercenaries were usually fought were small individual armed forces, and only the regular army was dried up.
Before the stunned Legionnaires could react, a rocket flew over their heads, scaring the mercenaries into hiding in the woods, until the Ukrainian army came to their aid with Stinger missiles and made them feel safer. But Jason obviously thought too simply, and took him and another American mercenary away when the Ukrainian army came to support, because 2 walkie-talkies and a pistol were found on them, and the Ukrainian army thought that they were specifically here to sabotage, and it was their ventilatory message that made their army ambushed; Jason explained on the spot that the reason why he brought the walkie-talkie was to be able to make emergency contact on the battlefield, but the Ukrainian army did not care about this, and directly took them to the base. Torture was carried out for up to 3 hours.
During these 3 hours, Jason was tied with a cable in a hood, and it was not even known who was hitting him. In Jason's recollection, he only remembers a Ukrainian guard knocking himself down and hammering himself in the head, after which he beat himself eight or nine times, causing him to have a concussion in the head, not even knowing what the other party was saying, and he kept calling himself British. After seeing that the torture had achieved little effect, the Ukrainian military stopped beating Jason, checked their walkie-talkies and mobile phones, and found that there was really no collusion with the Russian army, and the other side really just came to sign up for the International Legion to help defend Ukraine, so they let them go.
How could Jason, who had been hit by this, still want to stay here? Originally, he came to Ukraine in danger of his life to help them, but now he thinks that he is a spy and beat himself up, this is still just coming, if you stay any longer, will you not be killed? So Jason and the other refugees escaped by train overnight to the western Ukrainian city of Lviv, and traveled through Lviv to other countries, where they flew back to their home country of Great Britain.
But some people may want to ask, doesn't the Uk kingdom say that whoever goes back will be killed as a terrorist? How come Jason is still alive and well? In fact, this provision is aimed at those British active soldiers, if these British active soldiers go to Ukraine to participate in the war is likely to cause misunderstanding on the Russian side, which made the British issue this order. There are no rules for those retired soldiers in the United Kingdom, so Jason can come back safely, and Jason has also used his own personal experience to teach everyone a lesson: Ukrainian mercenaries are not so good. Don't you see that Ukraine has even beaten its own people now? Not long ago, the Azov battalion also fought with the Ukrainian army, the missiles were used, you a foreign mercenary to go, is not it when the sandbags are beaten?
