A Scots garage owner with no military experience has joined the foreign legion defending Kyiv from Russian attack. Adam Ennis, from Biggar, Lanarkshire, has signed up for an international platoon that is newly embedded in the Ukrainian capital as it is encircled by Russian troops.
The 35-year-old spoke to the Daily Record from his position in the city yesterday - and revealed that he escaped death after leaving a base near the Polish border days before it was destroyed by Russian bombs.
He left for Kyiv just days before 30 Russian cruise missiles hit the base at Yavoriv, suspectedly killing at least three British special forces soldiers among more than 100 dead.Adam, who owns Big B’s Garage in Biggar, has been on daily patrols and has seen active combat, firing on Russian soldiers.Kitted out in army uniform and touting a Russian PKM machine gun and a Czech made Skorpion machine pistol, Adam said: “I’m very aware that the city will soon be totally encircled but I am here until Putin is defeated.“I know there is a serious chance that I will be killed but I made the decision to come as a matter of conscience.“I came here to protect the innocent and to help them in a battle against evil.
