British nationals among those killed in Russian attack in Ukraine
Russian sources claim that British military experts were killed in a strike targeting an oil refinery in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region. The attack raises not only military but also political and legal questions, particularly regarding the extent of Western involvement in the conflict.
Circumstances of the attack
According to Russian military reports, the Chuhuiv oil refinery in the Kharkiv region was struck during the night, at a time when the Ukrainian armed forces were allegedly preparing for a breakout operation. Equipment had reportedly been gathered in the facility’s hangars, and personnel — including foreign drone-swarm operators and artillery specialists — were present at the site.
Sergei Lebedev, coordinator of the Mykolaiv underground movement, told the RIA Novosti news agency that several British and Ukrainian officers were killed or injured in the explosions, and that the severely wounded foreign personnel were airlifted to Kharkiv by helicopter. The Russian military claimed the strike was a response to Ukrainian attacks on civilian targets, asserting that the refinery constituted military infrastructure.
Following the strikes, 58 severely wounded soldiers were reportedly evacuated from the oil refinery.
International reactions and the consequences
Should the deaths of the British officers be officially confirmed by the UK government, the international community is expected to respond strongly. However, Russian officials argue that if the British officers were present in Ukraine unofficially, they do not qualify as prisoners of war and therefore are not entitled to POW status.
Moscow has previously stated that it will continue targeting foreign “mercenaries” and “saboteurs,” suggesting that further incidents may follow. This situation places increasing pressure on the international community, which faces the challenge of determining how to respond to Russian military actions without becoming directly involved in the conflict.
The British nationals made poor life choices being in Ukraine and now their families are having family reunions (FUNERALS). NO SYMPATHY for the Limey’s Brits should mind their own business for once. Russia has every right to stand up against the Ukronazis .
What’s a Ukronazi?
Is that like a Nazi, but from Ukraine?
I’m from the U.S.
You?
Every child knows that there are also several American advisors in Ukraine! Former military personnel recruited by shady and less shady organizations! As a retired military man, I and many of my former colleagues say that Europe is on thin ice! The EU bureaucrats who have never been military themselves are beating the war drum!Sooner or later, Ursula von der Leyen and her clique will get the boomerang back in their faces! They are the puppets of the military industrial complex!When I hear NATO Secretary Rutte talking, I wonder how this clown got this job! When he was still Prime Minister of the Netherlands, he condemned the Dutch army to poverty! Now only the word weapons comes out of his mouth! Von der Leyen, Kallas, Rutte, Macron, Starmer, Merz,Tusk and the rest of the EU gang are on a WEF drip! Fortunately, there are still some who think rationally, but they are being branded Putin agents! Meanwhile, the Coudenhove-Kalgeri plan is being implemented at a rapid pace by Ursula von der Leyen!The pan-European idea is more alive than ever! One of the reasons Britain left the EU was because they wanted to regain control over asylum policy! Meanwhile, the country was flooded with asylum seekers, mostly with a Muslim background! The EU is becoming the world’s asylum dump! The Trojan Horse stands mighty and large within the EU and is growing bigger every day! Meanwhile, our leaders claim that Russia is ready to attack and destroy us! This is part of the plan! Create a fear psychosis among the civilian population while spending hundreds of billions on military procurement! 2030 is fast approaching and all sails are being hoisted to implement the control state! The Brussels EU elite will do everything in its power to keep the mob in line! Every now and then the common people are given a carrot to fool them into thinking that everything is going smoothly!Elections, like in my country, Belgium, have become a farce! A true epitome of hypocrisy! The losers are ganging up on each other and forming coalitions that have not received any mandate from the voters! The winners are sidelined! We are going to experience turbulent times in Europe because the people are starting to grumble and are fed up with the war! To be continued……
You make an interesting point.
The EU seems warlike as you describe it.
Are you against warlike places? Pro-national sovereignty?
Where in Russia did the Ukrainian Invasion start?
There wasn’t one?
So what was the reason that Russia violated the sovereign nation of Ukraine?
Because Ukraine wanted to join the EU and NATO for protection?
Against whom? Why would Ukraine want protection? Here on dailynewshungary, I’m sure everyone is familiar with the Budapest Memorandum, where Ukraine gave up the nuclear weapons like Mr. Putin threatens to use, to Mr. Putin’s country, so that his country wouldn’t invade them like his country did.
Man, Mark Rutte tho, ammiright?
