A British soldier who went AWOL for six months to fight in Ukraine has been jailed after his actions risked dragging Britain into the war.
Royal Welsh Fusilier Alexander Garms-Rizzi was deployed to Estonia when he went missing from NATO’s Operation Cabrit.
A court martial heard that by operating as a ‘rifleman’ alongside Ukrainian militia Garms-Rizzi had defied orders, created a security risk and had he been captured ‘the potential harm… is difficult to understate’.Judge Advocate General Darren Reed said: ‘The order not to go to Ukraine could not have been clearer. The order was there to protect British forces and the state from being dragged into the conflict.
When his unit managed to contact him, the soldier, who lived in Russia until the age of 12 and had Ukrainian friends, admitted he had gone to join the war.
