Ukraine: British aid workers falsely named as foreign fighters by pro-Russian media

by

Channel 4 News published this video item, entitled “Ukraine: British aid workers falsely named as foreign fighters by pro-Russian media” – below is their description.

We’ve been reporting on the experiences of the Britons who chose to volunteer in the war in Ukraine.

Pro-Russian media has targeted these foreigners, with one site publishing a list of hundreds of names they claim are “mercenaries” fighting for the Ukrainians.

Our investigations team has analysed the list and found many of those we spoke to were aid workers not fighters.

Watch the first part of our investigation on Britons on the frontline: https://youtu.be/zYpCGCAikmk?list=PLXjqQf1xYLQ48kZh4-fDLUfls2m6BtSFe.
