DOZENS of British war heroes flock to Ukraine to take on Russia

DOZENS of British war heroes — including dads and grandads — are flocking to Ukraine to take on Vladimir Putin’s army.

The ex-squaddies flew into Poland before walking across the border and heading towards the frontline.

One sniper, who served in the Army for a decade, told his wife he was going bird-watching.

The marksman — wearing fatigues and carrying a Bergen — spoke to The Sun in Medyka yesterday before going to war.

The dad of two, from the Wirral, said: “She’s going to freak out when I tell her where I am.

“I’ll ring her when I’m in Ukraine and explain.”

He spoke to us on the condition of anonymity and asked for his face to be pixelated.
