British mercenary kills himself after returning from Ukraine – media
The man’s decision to fight for Kiev was prompted by ex-Prime Minister Liz Truss, an inquest has heard | Harry Gregg – a 25-year-old man from Norfolk, UK who was inspired by former Prime Minister Liz Truss to go and fight in Ukraine – committed suicide by hanging himself after returning from the embattled country, British media reported on Sunday, citing the official investigation. He reportedly suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and was unable to receive adequate help, according to his mother. ● In February 2022, Truss, who was then serving as foreign secretary, said on national TV that she would “absolutely” support UK nationals who go to fight for Ukraine. Her statement followed an earlier appeal from officials in Kiev for foreign volunteers to come and join the battle. [...] Her comments were at odds with the government, which maintained that anyone going to “fight or assist others engaged in the conflict” could be prosecuted upon returning to the UK.
