Former Royal Welsh Fusilier Alexander Garms-Rizzi, 23, placed himself as a 'bait' in an attempt to deduce three of his Ukrainian soldiers who were shot in battle.

His fellow soldier described him as a 'very beloved' young man who saved lives, adding that both commanders and troops loved the Brit.
The soldier, whose mother is Russian, went AWOL during a British army -Navo exercise in Estonia in March 2022.
At the time, he told officers that he felt compelled to fight in the conflict and made no effort to hide his actions.
He had also sent his unit a message in which it was admitted that he had crossed the border to join pro-Ukrainian troops.
After two months, he voluntarily returned to the UK and was sentenced to a year in prison for a martial council for the defense of orders to stay.
The young sniper had reportedly returned to the Ukrainian trenches after eight months behind bars on British soil.
Alexander – who is called the name Sasha on the front lines – is supposed to have died in the fight, but it is too dangerous to restore his body.
His commander, who described the deceased soldier as 'very brave', explained that on the day of his death he was next to other Ukrainian soldiers in a dugout who had collapsed.
He unveiled the last moments of Alexander's life and said that the courageous junk 'distracted the drone' by sprinting in a circle while his comrades rushed to safety at 500 meters in a neighboring bunker.
“In the end, two of the boys survived intact, although the other was seriously injured in the vicinity of the Dugout – but Sasha didn't make it,” the commander told the sun.
'They later searched for him with drones and found his body, but it has not yet been evacuated.
“He took a different path and was only about 100 meters of safety when he was hit. He died a hero. '
The ex-poor soldier was rather locked up after a judge ruled that his actions run the risk of dragging Great Britain to a war with Russia.
A martial council heard that the soldier, a smooth Russian speaker, was deployed in Estonia in November 2021 with the rest of his unit as part of Operation Cabrit and NATOs improved forward presence in the region
The military court heard that by operating Garms-Rizzi as a 'rifleman' in addition to the Ukrainian militia, had given orders and had created a security risk officers of the judiciary that he had caught the potential damage 'the potential damage … difficult to exaggerate . '
Garms-Rizzi went on leave from March 2022 and did not return to return two weeks later, the court was told. When his unity succeeded in contacting him, the soldier, who lived in Russian until the age of 12 and had Ukrainian friends that he had gone to participate in the war.
Judge -Advocaat -General Darren Reed said at that moment, said: “[Your actions were] deliberately and in advance. You lived in Russia until you were 12 years old and spent the summers after departure.
He added: 'You spent almost six months AWOL. Members of the British army are not authorized to go to Ukraine.
'The order not to go to Ukraine could not have been clearer. The order was to be dragged against the conflict to protect the British troops and the state. '
Garms-Rizzi represented himself and told the hearing that he had not been able to “just assist and see things unfolded” while his Ukrainian school friends were killed. He said: “I gave myself to Dover. My mother is Russian.
'If I go back to Russia [to see her] I will be sentenced to the Gulag. I can't see anyone in Russia. [I went because] My friends were killed. I have Ukrainian friends from school that I met in Russia. I think I did the right thing. [My role in Ukraine] Was a mixture of rifleman work and humanitarian. It was translation and medical care.
Alexander of Tidworth Barracks, the court of prison of a year, rejected the British army.
