A young man from Britain has sadly died while fighting against Russian forces in Ukraine.
Sam Newey decided to help on the frontlines after Vladimir Putin’s invasion in February last year.
The young man, who was 22 years old, had to fight in many fights while serving in a country that was destroyed by war.
He didn’t have any experience in the military and he was part of a group of adventurous volunteers called the Dark Angels.
He died in the war in Ukraine on Wednesday, according to his brother Dan, who shared a heartfelt message on social media.
It says, ‘I am feeling very sad and hurt, but I don’t have the right words to describe how I feel. ‘ I want to stress how proud I am of my younger brother.
“He was only 21 years old when he made the decision to go to Ukraine and resist Russian Imperialism. ”
Dan claimed that his brother “acted with courage, morality, and honour” and “gave his life for people he never knew.”
You’re not just my little brother, but also a remarkable man, a sterling soldier, and one of the bravest people I’ve ever had the honour of knowing, he said.
I appreciate you being a part of my life for the past 22 years so much. I will always adore you, brother.
Sam has also received several tributes on other social media platforms, with many hailing him as a “hero.”
The Sun reported that Sam, who was studying psychology at the University of Birmingham, chose to get involved in a conflict against Russia.
He chose to do what his brother did and joined the Dark Angels, a group started by a family friend, Daniel Burke, that fights for causes he believes in.
In June 2022, Sam filmed a video with a body camera showing the squad shooting a missile at a Russian position.
Videos showed the group secretly moving through an area with no people in the occupied Kherson province to launch the rocket attack.
It is said that Sam died because of a bomb attack. The person in charge, Mr. Burke, is also believed to have died after he disappeared in Zaporizhzhia and hasn’t been seen alive since August 11th.
Sam Newey, seen outside Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London in February 2020, was there because he and his father were accused of breaking the Terrorist Act. Their alleged crime was sending money to Sam’s brother in Syria.
In 2020, Sam and his dad Paul were accused of helping Kurdish forces in Syria by giving money to their friend Dan who was fighting against Isis. They were charged with terror crimes.
They were accused of helping Daniel Newey unlawfully, while Paul was accused of giving money for terrorism, even though Dan’s military group controlled by the Kurds was supported by Britain and trained by the SAS.
Dan used to be a paratrooper and fought alongside the People’s Protection Units (YPG). A Syrian Kurdish group was active from late 2017 to June 2018.
The YPG is the main part of a group called the Syrian Democratic Forces. They were created to fight against the group known as the Islamic State, but Turkey and some other countries think of them as a terrorist organization.
A few people protested outside the Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London during the case. Later, the Crown Prosecution Service decided to drop the charges and take no further action.
In 2021, Dan said that he would prefer to stay in a place where there is a war happening, rather than being treated badly in the UK and being treated like a criminal.
