British Volunteer Chris ‘Swampy’ Garrett Killed by Russian IED Explosion in Kharkiv Region while demining

How many foreign volunteers and foreign legionnaires are helping the Ukraine to defend against Russia? There is unfortunately scarce information about this! We may have to wait until after the war to learn more about it.

Some jobs are clearly more dangerous than others! Deminers are heroes! Just imagine how many children will likely be maimed or killed by unexploded ordinance long after the war is over?

"British volunteer and veteran Chris Garrett, 40, was killed on Tuesday when clearing a Russian minefield in eastern Ukraine’s Izyum city in the Kharkiv region. 

The explosion killed another member of his ordnance disposal team and left another in critical condition. ...

Garrett told The Sun that he and his team worked to detonate tons of unexploded artillery shells, mines, and IEDs, and trained over 2,000 Ukrainian military and police personnel. ...

Garrett had previously worked with Nate Vance, cousin of US Vice President JD Vance, and referred to Nate Vance as “a fantastic guy to work with and a proper team player… No make-up, no eyeliner, just a 100% real man, unlike his cousin” in an X update. ...

Chris Garrett is survived by his partner and infant daughter."
