Smells British voluntary clash with Ukrainian forces against Russia has said that soldiers on earth feel that Friday’s summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska is “a joke” and will not lead to peace.
Drew Scott, a former English soldier who joined the Ukraine International Legion in 2023 Independent These Ukrainian soldiers were “for a long distance” and were not anticipated by the imminent resolution.
Trump and Putin are faced face -to -face for the first time on Friday’s summit in Alaska, but the Ukrainian President Voldimir Zelnsky will not be present. Kiev said he would not outsource the occupied land as part of the peace deal to Russia.
“We know what the ceasefire on the Russian looks like,” said Scott.

“But people’s endurance here is strong and that’s why I love this country. There is only one way that peace here will be revived and this is when Russia pulls its soldiers out of Ukraine.”
It is estimated that 8,000 foreign volunteers, including hundreds of British, have joined the Ukraine International Legion and other Ukrainian army units.
Scott’s call is “Caesar” but he quickly points out that this was selected by his comrades – not himself. In this interview, he used his real name because the Russians identified him long ago.
Kremlin’s pro -websites have accused him of being a mercenary and have provided him for him, dead or alive. But by talking near a safe house, his unit uses the front line while resting, he completely rejected the claim.
“I’m not a mercenary and those I care about are not here for money. I came here because when I see women, children, civilians, they are killed, wounded and harassed, I just can’t sit and watch.”

Scott was born in Newcastle in Newcastle in a family with a history of military service. At the age of 20, he was transferred to the British Elite Salvation Hong and spent nine years with his third battalion, including 30 months in Northern Ireland during “problems” and spell with relaxing forces in Iraq.
He became aware of Ukraine after Russia in 2014 and decided to volunteer his military skills after Putin 2022’s full -fledged attack. He compared the act of Russian aggression with “something from the Genghis Khan era that should not happen on this day and age.
“We each have a duty to fight dictatorship and evil,” he said. “And humanity has lost something that you can put aside these horrors as if there are nothing.”
Scott was 55, who enrolled in the legion in 2023 and joked some young comrades who are referred to as “Granddad”. His experience of the British army led to his rapid upgrades to guiding a mortar in the legion. Since he has witnessed the operation of many of the most war -torn battles in the east and southeast. “All nightmares.”

He said, normally, the front digs the trenches and shelters in its new situations, and the mortars are covered by camouflage sliding ceilings, which only open for a sao fire. In 2023 they can hope to hide for a long time. No other
“Unmanned aircraft has changed everything in the past few months,” he said. “There are a large number of drone attacks in the sky and unmanned aircraft that see everything to identify our positions. When they recognize them, they throw everything to you.”
His mortar post, including a shelter and tunnel, was attacked and attacked by Russian artillery and FPV suicide drones.
“An explosive drone arrived from the roof that we had our 82mm mortar in the tunnel …… We had been hammered by heavy artillery for about two hours …” Then more FPVs arrived.
Finally, he said they were able to evacuate only one man severely, while Scott only suffered a brain injury. He is proud that no one has been killed under his command, though four were injured.
He said Russian drones have caused terrible casualties in deaths and injuries, including mental wounds.
“This is a kind of war that I don’t wish for anyone,” Scott said.
He said the sound of unmanned aircraft even harasses the soldiers in peaceful settings. “The sound of a mixer in a kitchen, a lawn, an air ventilation can make you destroy.”
Scott thinks the war is unlikely to end soon. “What you have to remember is that Putin is a mental f ****** madly doing anything to stay in power.”
Some believe that Trump will try to strengthen Ukraine to permanently abandon the Russian territory. Scott said that he and his comrades think, “This is a complete betrayal of the armed forces, from the children who have paid the final prices and the families they have incurred over the years.”
But he said, “The morale of the kids on our front, our battalion is very attractive.”
“We’re there for a long distance. As long as the Russians take their soldiers out.”
