So Russians do not have snipers unit

It's easier to wait for someone

His only advantage is that he will be fighting on the Ukrainian side

And there is no way Russians will know Ukraine more than Ukrainians

There was no way NATO would have accepted Ukraine into NATO because there is a special clause in NATO's charter that says before a nation will be accepted into NATO, that nation must not be at war with her neighbors.




Putin didn't invade Ukraine because of NATO, if it were, he ought to have invaded Lithuania or Latvia or other former USSR nations that are already NATO members to drag them out na since he has balls and feel he is bigger than the US, let him throw one bomb in a NATO nation and let's confirm something.




Putin invaded Ukraine for his personal devilish reasons not because of NATO membership. Most of you lack indepth knowledge of what's happening between Russia and Ukraine but because you are a Muslim or a US hater, you just jump on the bandwagon of foolishly supporting Putin when majority of Russians, including Russian soldiers don't even support the invasion of Ukraine




You are also wrong.

Very very very wrong

ONE OF the world's deadliest snipers has arrived in Ukraine, vowing to fight the Russians as a volunteer fighter.

The trained killer, nicknamed Wali, previously travelled to Iraq on his own to fight against ISIS in 2015.

He crossed the border into Ukraine today, leaving his wife and infant son behind in Canada.

The 40-year-old was deployed twice to Afghanistan as a sniper with the Canadian Armed Forces between 2009 and 2011.

Wali fought in the same Canadian unit as the sniper with the world's longest confirmed-kill, of 3.5km.

He answered a call on Saturday from Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who announced: "All foreigners wishing to join the resistance against the Russian occupiers and protect international security are invited by the Ukrainian government to come to our territory to join the ranks of our territorial forces."

The sniper, who goes by the nickname given to him in Afghanistan of 'Wali', said he was contacted by a friend on Friday who had been organising "neutral convoys" of humanitarian aid for several months to bring food to the occupied Donbas region.

Wali told French-Canadian publication La Presse: "He told me they needed a sniper. It's like a firefighter who hears the alarm ringing. I had to go."

He leaves behind his wife and baby son, who will celebrate his first birthday without him next week.

"I know, it's just awful," he said. "But me, in my head, when I see the images of destruction in Ukraine, it is my son that I see, in danger and who is suffering.

"When I see a destroyed building, it is the person who owns it, who sees his pension fund go up in smoke, that I see.

"I go there for humanitarian reasons," he added.

His wife, who asked to have her identity kept secret for security reasons, said she reluctantly allowed him to go.

"I knew that if I didn't let him go, I would have broken him," she said.
"It would have been like putting him in jail."

Wali told CBC that he and three other former Canadian soldiers who made the journey with him were greeted with hugs, handshakes, flags and photos by Ukrainians after they crossed the border.

"They were so happy to have us," he said. "It's like we were friends right away."

He said he crossed over from Poland, travelling against the tide of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian refugees fleeing in the opposite direction.

Wali, who fought alongside the Kurds against ISIS in Syria several years ago, said he had travelled to Ukraine because "I want to help them. It's as simple as that."

He went on: "I have to help because there are people here being bombarded just because they want to be European and not Russian."

Since crossing into Ukraine, he and other veterans have taken shelter in an abandoned home, ahead of linking up with Ukrainian authorities.

Ukraine eventually hopes to build up a reserve unit of up to 10,000 officers and 120,000 volunteers.
Wali fought in the Royal Canadian 22nd Regiment, making tours of Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq.

In June 2017, one of his comrades reportedly shot dead an Islamic State terrorist from an incredible distance of 3,450m - more than two miles away.

A military source told the Toronto Globe and Mail at the time there was "hard data on this. It isn't an opinion. It isn't an approximation.

"There is a second location with eyes on with all the right equipment to capture exactly what the shot was."

The unnamed sharpshooter used a McMillan Tac-50 firing a .50" Browning Machine Gun round.

Later, Wali became a computer scientist in Canada.

Even for an experienced combat veteran like Wali, the speed at which his life has changed in recent days is still shocking.

"A week ago I was still programming stuff," he said. "Now I'm grabbing anti-tank missiles in a warehouse to kill real people... That's my reality now."

But Biafran soldiers killed far more Nigerian soldiers in the process.

The war ended because of the heavy casualties on the civilian side especially women and children.
If Russia for example employ such measures Kiev will surrender in a few days time.

He will kill few soldiers, they will pinpoint his location and either machine gun him with helicopter or bomb him.

There is not much snipers could do in a fight that has the air dominated by the enemy.

Russians are not interested in Ukraine... This isn't a conquer and rule world anymore.... They have a table to discuss on... They're only waiting for that comedian to leave his hole to that table.
