Russia 'destroys secret island base where Brit soldiers taught Ukraine's navy'

DAILY STAR

A training base on a secretive island housing British soldiers teaching Ukrainian army men has been destroyed, Russia has claimed.

The fort island of Pervomaisky – also known as Maisky Island – is big enough just to fit an army training base, and it is where many UK soldiers were teaching Ukrainian special forces since Vladimir Putin first ordered his Russian troops to invade the country.

It formerly belong to Russia, having been built in 1895, but was bombed by the Lutfwaffe in 1941.
