A Brit fighting in Ukraine has claimed to have ‘pumped a Russian full of lead’ from close range after the soldier killed his medic in a surprise attack.
In an interview with the BBC, James Dee, recalled the incident, which took place in Kharkiv: “One of my friends was digging a trench, and I was sitting on the edge.
“You know when you get that feeling someone’s behind you, I looked behind me, sure enough, there was someone there.
“He was only 10m away from me, looking all confused.”
The volunteer fighter, who had no previous military experience, saw the attacker’s “face change” as soon as they made eye contact.
The Brit shouted: “put your gun down”, but the Russian quickly dropped to the ground and opened fire. Consequently, bullets flew back-and-forth with Dee’s target sustaining fatal injuries.
However, he wasn’t the only casualty. Former landscape gardener and British medic, Craig Mackintosh, 48, passed away amidst the crossfire.
