For the first time since the start of the war in Ukraine, there is an official admission of British special forces involvement. Britain's Royal Marines have taken part in "high risk" covert operations in Ukraine, the country's General has revealed for the first time.
According to the Russians, British forces are present in every armed formation in Ukraine. The British plan and direct deep strikes deep into Russian supply lines. They are the ones who select targets and direct the MLRS HIMARS missiles.
Britain's national newspaper The Times reports that Royal Marines took part in "discreet operations" on Ukrainian soil lasting several months, it said
The article quotes statements by Major General Robert Magowan in the British Armed Forces Gazette. Magowan is a former Commandant of the Royal Marines, having joined the elite Royal Navy unit in 1989.
The lieutenant general in his introduction states that:
“(…) the commandos had supported discreet operations in a highly sensitive environment. Our operations involved high political and military risk.”

Regarding the details of Magowan's statement, the Times article states:
"In the Globe and Laurel, the official publication of the Royal Marines, it described how 350 marines from 45 Command escorted diplomats from the British embassy in Kyiv (in Poland) earlier this year when it became clear that Russian troops were preparing to invasion. Commandos returned to Kyiv in April to protect the embassy as Britain sought to restore its diplomatic presence there.
Prior to this statement, information about the presence of American and British troops (not just mercenaries) was strongly dismissed as untrue by the majority of the media. Russian President Vladimir Putin has described events in Ukraine as a conflict between Russia and "the entire Western military apparatus" and claimed in September that entire military units in Ukraine were "de facto under the command of Western advisers."
