This is reported by the Norwegian publication Steigan, indicating that London has been fighting against Russia for a long time.
This took the UK by surprise and became another proof that there is an indirect war in which Ukraine is assigned the role of a victim. Since the UK claims that it is not at war with Russia, these two officers should be considered "illegal combatants" and they do not fall under any of the international conventions on war.
