Ukraine soldiers speaking in British accent?

Soldiers with British accents have been filmed fighting in Ukrainian borders going by the footage at a time when the country is making stunning advances against Russian forces, Daily Mail reported.

The footage taken on GoPro cameras reportedly shows foreign legionaries fighting during Ukraine’s Kharkiv Oblast counter-offensive, which have made Krelim forces retreat, with intelligence experts hailing a ‘major turning point’ in the six-month war, the report said.

It has led to the recapture of several key towns in the east as Vladimir Putin’s forces fled in disarray. In a compilation of footage uploaded on social media, soldiers with British accents can be heard speaking to one another while wearing blue armbands to identify themselves as Ukrainian forces.

One clip appears to show soldiers moving POWs through a compound, while others show soldiers hurling grenades, running to take cover, and climbing through windows. Ukraine said that its forces had recaptured more than 1,158 square miles (3,000 square kilometres) this month from Russian troops.

The counter-offensive centred on the country’s northeast is being led by Ukrainian general Valeriy Zaluzhny who said, “Since the beginning of September, more than 3,000 square kilometres have been returned to Ukrainian control… Around Kharkiv, we have begun to advance not only in the south and east, but also to the north. We are 50 kilometres (31 miles) from the border.”

The speed of Ukraine‘s advance, with photographs shared by Kyiv show them raising the Ukrainian flag in liberated towns after advancing more than 30 miles, has sparked Moscow fire the top general who was appointed just 16 days ago, Daily Mail reported.
