British Teen’s Death Fighting for Ukraine Sparks Debate
Eighteen-year-old James Wilton, driven by a strong conviction, volunteered to fight for Ukraine after college, despite his family’s reservations. He joined the International Legion, undergoing basic training before deployment to the eastern front. Tragically, James was killed in a drone attack during his first mission, a victim of what his father describes as inadequate equipment and the use of volunteers as “cannon fodder.” Although he expressed some concerns shortly before his death, James found camaraderie among his fellow soldiers and maintained contact with his family.
