British Volunteer Fights Off Wave of Russian Drone Attacks in Ukraine, Video

Rare frontline footage has captured a British volunteer fighting off repeated drone threats while operating with Ukrainian forces, according to a report by BFBS Forces News on April 28.

The video shows a group of soldiers moving toward their position on the front line, repeatedly coming under surveillance and attack from Russian drones along the way.

The footage provided shows a former British Army soldier now serving in Ukraine. According to Forces News, it has verified the individual’s identity, but it has chosen not to disclose their name for security reasons.

According to The Spectator, between 2,000 and 3,000 British nationals had joined Ukraine’s International Legion by 2025—the largest such mobilization of British volunteers since the Spanish Civil War.

Earlier, Kirklees  councillor John Lawson detailed how he and his brother survived a Russian drone and missile attack while delivering humanitarian supplies to Lviv.

Lawson joined a volunteer convoy that spent two days in Lviv, providing equipment including fire hoses, generators, medical supplies, mobility aids, bedding and clothing, as well as two ambulances, two 4×4s, a pickup truck, and a quad bike.
