The Yaroriv Combat Training Centre in western Ukraine after it was struck by Russian missiles.
Introduction — March 15, 2022
Were these really “British ex-Special Forces” as the so-called Independent claims below? After all, Special Forces are trained to operate behind enemy lines. Or were they actually active duty personnel deployed to the Yaroriv Training Centre in Western Ukraine to oversee and co-ordinate weapons supplies from NATO?
Only weeks before the Russia invasion Briton despatched thirty Special Forces members to Ukraine with thousands of anti-tank missiles. These guys know that if they are captured or killed the British authorites will deny they were members of the armed forces. That way the UK government can avoid being blamed for their actions. In fact, that’s an integral part of the deal in many Special Forces units around the world.
Was the same true for these guys?

Fears that three British ex-special forces troops have been killed by a Russian attack in Ukraine are being investigated.
UK authorities are investigating after dozens were killed in a missile strike close to the Ukrainian border with Nato member Poland on Sunday, amid unconfirmed reports that three Britons were among the casualties.
There has been no official confirmation of their deaths.
More than 30 missiles targeted a training facility in Yavoriv, less than 15 miles from the Polish border, according to the governor of Ukraine’s western Lviv region. More than 130 people were injured
However a source told the Daily Mirror that there were “many more killed within the site than has been claimed” and that the three men who reportedly died had not been part of a foreign fighters unit that was being trained at the International Centre for Peacekeeping and Security.
The Ministry of Defence said it could only comment on cases involving military personnel.

Asked in the aftermath of the attack, sources at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) told The Daily Mirror that they were unaware of any British casualties among the dead.
British citizens are advised against all travel to Ukraine by the FCDO, while transport secretary Grant Shapps warned British troops and ex-service personnel last week that it is illegal for them to join the fighting in Ukraine.
Following a similar warning from defence secretary Ben Wallace, Mr Shapps told ITV’s Good Morning Britain that any Briton who does so risks worsening a “dangerous situation”.
The training centre appeared to be the most westerly target struck so far in the 18-day conflict, deepening fears of an escalation in the war should Russian missiles inadvertently strike Poland.
Nato said on Sunday that it currently does not have any personnel in Ukraine, though the US has increased the number of US troops deployed to Poland and neighbouring countries.
The Russian attack involved air-launched cruise missiles fired from Russian airspace by long-range bombers, a senior US defence official said on Monday.
The official added that there were no US troops, contractors or civilian government workers at the base.
In Moscow, defence ministry spokesperson Igor Konashenkov said Russia had used high-precision, long-range weapons to strike Yavoriv and a separate facility in the village of Starichi.
“As a result of the strike, up to 180 foreign mercenaries and a large amount of foreign weapons were destroyed,” he claimed.
The 140-square mile facility is one of Ukraine’s biggest and is the largest in the western part of the country, which has so far been spared the worst of the fighting
The attack is reported to have spurred Poles to rush to passport offices and stockpile essentials amid fears among residents that the war could cut off supplies, or even spill over into Poland.
Downing Street said the strike so close to a Nato member was “deeply concerning” and that the UK is seeking to build the “broadest possible coalition” against the Russian aggression.
“We want everyone in the international community to condemn Putin’s barbaric acts,” Boris Johnson’s official spokesman said.
US secretary of state Antony Blinken also condemned the attack, saying: “The brutality must stop.”
Following the attack, Russia’s defence ministry warned it would take further military action against foreign fighters in Ukraine.
“At these facilities, the Kiev regime deployed a training centre for foreign mercenaries before being sent to the areas of hostilities against Russian military personnel, as well as a storage base for weapons and equipment coming from foreign countries,” it said in a statement.
“As a result of the strike, up to 180 foreign mercenaries and a large shipment of foreign weapons were destroyed. The destruction of foreign mercenaries who arrived on the territory of Ukraine will continue.”
The more dead british soldiers the better. If all of these stories are true, they’re there ‘training’ shop workers to shoot people. Nice. Also, they’re fighting on the wrong side.
Play silly games win silly prizes.
Good riddance. The SAS types, like the Seal types here in the U.S., are the lowest of the low. Pure scum. Majority of these murderous thugs, when they “retire” after a few years of service, become contractors for the Deep State. Overwhelming number of false-flag shootings are carried out by these ex-… types. i.e. ex-Seal, ex-SAS, etc.
The Vegas shooting just a few years ago which killed over 60 innocent concert goers was carried out by one such death squad. It wouldn’t surprise me if members of that same squad are now in Ukraine wreaking havoc. Psychopaths.
They may be ex-special forces now but I bet they weren’t ex-special forces when the missiles struck. I no longer celebrate our special forces, not since their honour was taken from them decades ago. Now they organise the pillage for multinationals and political mafias now looting the world, and they will kill whoever stands in their way of taking it. They don’t even do it to enrich themselves but for others.
Elites call them special forces. Mobsters call them contract killers.
NO REGRET !
MERCENARY STAY AT HOME
+ MAKE THERE A CLEANING !
but it dont pays be shure !
@ MIKE D

the place . women,children men !
Note to the illerate author………Briton did NOT dispatch these people BRITAIN did…..No wonder you use the NON independent Globalist BS media for your posts they are as illterate as you
Welcome to the latest War against Whites…set up by the Zionist-Communist Cryptocrats & implemented by their yarmulke Jewish agents (Putin/Zelensky) The rabbis know that the arrival of their mongrel ‘Messiah’ gets increasingly closer as the white gentiles collaterally decrease…Kill off white Ukrainian males, while exporting millions of white Ukrainian women to multiracial foreign nations–deprived of their males they will mate with bipedal apes/mongrels & be pimped out by Israeli sex traffickers to Africa, Asia, Latin America …figure it out..
These foreign mercenaries went to Ukraine to participate in a war. Therefore they are expected to kill or be killed. Well they got what they are supposed to expect. Why should we care for them? This war can cease immediately if the dog owner(s) tells their dog to pledge neutrality forever. The dog owners’ have abandon the dog, and now we see a bunch of maggots running to the dog shit and munch on it.
UK US special forces did a number on Afghanistan, British were caught in Iraq, while US shot Tilman at 10 ft and the report was modified 4 times yet idiots at Universities especially Arizona State don’t have any brains and celebrate it. They were also in Libya, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon where the US destroyed their own (Kay Griggs husband’s Journal stated that this is common).
I have 0 respect for the militaries around the world with their editions of HAARP, global US domination and their pathogen and nerve gasses as well as the UK, Israel (4th most powerful nuclear power with submarines as well), USSR and China
As the Dire Straits song says: we are fools to kill our brothers in arms.

Sorry — but you started it!
1. It’s “illiterate” not “illerate”.
2. Illiterate means unable to read or write, which they clearly aren’t — unless you are too, because you also spelled something incorrectly.

Actually to be correct, there wasn’t any loss of life or material, the base was empty & unoccupied by anyone ? Just empty shacks ?
Trust me ? I am a “respected” western news analyst … Would I lie to you ??
