Jay Beecher – Kyiv Post Dec 14, 2022
Britain’s renowned Royal Marines have taken part in covert operations in Ukraine, a senior general has admitted for the first time, adding that their missions carried ” a high level of political and military risk”.
Writing in the Globe and Laurel, the Royal Marines’ official publication, Lieutenant-General Robert Magowan said British commandos supported “discreet operations” in a “hugely sensitive environment,” with one mission entailing 350 marines from 45 Commando Group being deployed at short notice to evacuate the British embassy in Kyiv at the beginning of Russia’s illegal invasion.
Prior to Feb. 24, the day that Russian boots marched onto Ukrainian soil, British Defence Minister Ben Wallace confirmed that a small number of military personnel had been deployed in Ukraine to provide weapons and training. However, this is the first time that a senior military official has made such a confirmation.
Magowan, a former commandant general of the Royal Marines, who joined the Royal Navy’s elite unite in 1989, wrote: “In January this year, 45 Commando Group deployed at short notice — from the depths of a dark, north Norwegian winter, to evacuate the British embassy in Kyiv to Poland. The go-to 999 international emergency force, if you will.”
The 45 Commando Group specializes in Arctic warfare, with their troops returning to Norway in March to participate in the largest NATO military exercise since the 1980s, which saw around 30,000 military personnel from 28 nations take part in drills of Exercise Cold Response.
“Then in April, they returned into the country to re-establish the diplomatic mission, providing protection to critical personnel,” Magowan continued. “During both phases, the commandos supported other discreet operations in a hugely sensitive environment and with a high level of political and military risk.”
Speaking to MailOnline after Magowan’s comments were published yesterday, Tuesday, Dec. 14, a Royal Navy spokesperson was careful to insist that the British troops had not taken part in fighting.
“Royal Marines were deployed to Ukraine to support the UK’s diplomatic presence in the country,” the spokesperson said. “They served no combat function.”

Jay Beecher is a British journalist now living in Kyiv.

It has been suggested their deployment was for VIP/diplomatic protection, and the reason for dropping this story, is that a number, probably a fairly large number of British forces near Odesa were killed by a Russian missile attack, and the Russian knew exactly who they were killing.
It has also been suggested that this is a cover for announced deaths. Who cares, the more British sheeple in UKraine, the better, so the Russians can kill them.
Every time the UK falls to its knees, its time for another world war.
Step aside Putin, let a real Russian warrior do what you won’t do.
“Royal Marines were deployed to Ukraine to support the UK’s diplomatic presence in the country”
Nah.
At this time, it’s either diplomats OR marines, not both.
By the by, this starts to look like the run-up to WWII, does it not? “Die for Gadansk” then, now “Die for Kyiv”… does it matter if it’s all arranged by the same pack of lice?
From what I am picking up, Russia is now seriously readying for a nuclear strikes on the West, or should I say, key targets in London and around the UK, as well as the US.
Maybe Putin’s recent security Council meeting where the message was ‘no change, steady as we go’, maybe this was a decoy?
Quite a few Russian military brass have spoken openly about nuking key UK targets.
The link below gives an interesting nuclear strike against the UK. I think the analysis is believable, but clearly, man presenting in front of his bed raises some questions.

So the Royal Marines were/are in Ukraine to sip sherry with UK diplomats?
It is all about the actual plans and goals in the works. It is unlikely the Russians had any idea the Brits were training the cannon fodder in the battery, and if it was causing enough trouble to them, they likely would have decided to do it anyway.
Know the basic interests of the parties and you have basis to understand and predict their actions.
It is already out that the US and UK special ops have been doing the training of the Ukes for years.
This is clearly mainly a Rothschild war where there are also US and UK geopolitical interests being advanced.
US – It has made clear its opposition to increased Russian economic ties with Europe, its LNG plans, and the US was already sanctioning the shit out of Russia for its protection of Syria and Iran. The US thinks it can benefit with a Greater Israel and NWO plans for free trade, top-down control of resources and trade routes for its global business interests. Syria is in the way.
UK – It is still very much of an empire with its common “wealth” of nations. Together, with the backing of the largest banking dynasty in the universe, with tentacles everywhere, it is either being used or using that financial network and influence, to carry out joint plans with the Rothschild dynasty to geopolitically dominate Asia, natural resources and trade by making Russia a vassal state. The control of Eurasia was always key to this 150 year-old wet dream. However, even with the installation of the communist government to get rid of the Russian monarchy, the aristocracy, and upper establishment, Russian remained Russian the actual occupancy and control has never been accomplished either through invasion, money, business, or communism. The UK can benefit with a Greater Israel and NWO plans for free trade, top-down control of resources and trade routes for its global business interests.
The Rothschild’s – Greater Israel. Greater Israel to be the major global trade hub with completion of the Belt & Road Initiative. Syria is in the way and has very nice NG off of its shores and nice oil and gas deposits on its turf. A pretext is necessary to get rid of Russia in Syria to get rid of Syria. out of the way. Global financial domination and control.
Geopolitical interest of Russia?
A quasi partner in the NWO free-trade plans.
Wants a northern silk road though the Russian Federation to and from the EU.
US, UK and Rothschild’s see that as making for a very dominate Russia in Asia out of their control.
Southern silk-road BIS will leave Russia out of control of future major trade routes, and it is also better for Russia to keep the status quo in the Mid East and access to the Mediterranean with Syria.
Common interests of all of the major powers?
Still, they have a strong NWO interest with a centralized government structure with more centralized controls finances, resources, production, trade and consumption, using the UN Agendas, and WEF Reset as pretexts over the lesser and mainly resource nations for their controls. Russia is more independent in this respect than China from the NWO plans although could benefit. Dramatic peace keeping ploys by NWO potentates to save us from a WWIII would be the major ticket pretext for the alleged “centralized” global currency and government.
Interests of the common people?
The war in the Ukraine is either the result of what happens when you are so rich and powerful that you plan 50 to 100 years in advance to further your interests, and you are also able to bulldoze through any opposition which stands in your way. The common people in the way are always the cannon fodder. The common people in all nations who are not “stakeholders” in some corporatocracy holdings or interests of course will be totally screwed with the NWO plans, despite the UN humanitarian carrots and promises of equality. The common people especially in the Western world will get equality all right, and it will be wage parity with the other nations of the world, which does not mean the poor in those nations will get more business, this same all-powerful, global (mainly US-UK-Rothschild) corporatocracy behind the UN-WEF-WHO-NWO, as well as the Covid plandemic PRETEXT have deemed that it is also necessary that if we want to survive in their NWO we have to be more competitive, obedient, and compliant as in their other prodigy nation the PRC.
I am totally shocked .
The Brits are sticking their noses into the affairs of other nations ???
What’s next…the USA as a provocator ?
Thank G$d we have Israel as the last beacon of diplomacy and democracy or we would all be f&cked!!!!.
