He was just an 18-year-old student when Russia invaded Ukraine but within weeks, Ben Atkin had crossed the border into Ukraine with an intention to fight and an acceptance he might not come back. (Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
As the youngest known Briton to travel to Ukraine to join the war, it might not come as a surprise that what he found there shocked him.
But even for a 30-year-old former Royal Naval engineer like Curtis, the Foreign Legion was not what he expected.
In this Channel 4 News investigation, we hear the previously untold accounts of chaos in Ukraine’s Foreign Legion – with claims of poor organisation, a lack of training and kit and unverified claims that more British volunteers have been killed, than reported by officials.
The Foreign Office told Channel 4 News they don’t know exactly how many British citizens have travelled to Ukraine or how many have lost their lives.
Warning: This report contains some strong language.

..Britanci su borbeni Nerodi koji pokušava da objasni lokalnom svetu da je ispravan u svojoj borbi da se iživljava tamo gde mu nije mesto..britanska vlada obučava devijantne osobe i šalje u Ukrajinu a tamo će isti biti tretirani kao stoka. Britanska vlada nema muda da pošalje svoje prave obučene borce zato što će ostati bez istih
1:03 This is Ukrainian military equipment
I don't get it what did they expect everyone saluting you you fit in or don't bother stop moaning and 18 year old going with very or no training more of a inderance its embarrassing what your saying Ukraine people don't have that options
these are the nicest possible cases of what you could expect there if you go. Most wont make it out, likely due to their Ukrainian officers shooting them in the back for trying to leave. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Foolish people.
Ukrainian president is getting richer and Ukrainian people are dying. The west, what can one say about it.
The young Brit’s thought it was Cal of duty and how wrong they were.
With a population of 43 million there should be no reason for foreign fighters going, just give them the equipment they need and they can fight.
hahahahaha
Please take me to fight
If in asia,count on me.
I wouldn’t recommend going there especially with the way people are being treated. It’s out of control, Putin wants Americans and British POW as a trophy.
Is not like the video games uh ? 😂
And the west thinks Ukraine is winning this war….. Lololol
ALL PAY TO GO TERRORISTS
GOD BLESSING PUTIN… THE WHOLE PLANET ON RUSSIA SIDE
All they wanted was some social media Selfies for their media account. COD retards thinking how romantic and Cool and how their fans would be in love. For all the wrong reasons they went over.
