Ex-British Soldier Killed in Ukraine While Saving Comrades

Former British Army sniper Alexander Garms-Rizzi, 23, was killed while fighting in Ukraine after he deliberately drew fire from a Russian drone to protect three fellow soldiers. His heroic actions allowed the trio to reach safety in a bunker, though one was seriously injured. Garms-Rizzi, who had previously gone AWOL from a NATO exercise to join pro-Ukrainian forces, is being considered for a posthumous bravery medal. His comrades and friends have praised his courage, with one calling him a 'born fighter' who died honorably while helping others. Despite being court-martialed for his initial decision to fight in Ukraine, he returned to the frontlines after serving his sentence. His death has been confirmed, although recovering his body remains perilous due to ongoing conflict.
