English Speaking Mercenary in Mariupol ID’d as Brit Leon Swampy From London, England
by The Daily Lede
An English speaking mercenary seen in a video following the assault on Mariupol early Saturday has been identified through social media as British-born Leon Swampy.
Swampy can be seen toward the end of the following video guiding a video journalist through a schoolyard which had been struck by Grad rocket fire early Saturday in Mariupol.
Swampy was identified through his profile on the popular Ukrainian social media site vKontakte which lists 3 ‘noteworthy’ pages, one of which belonging to the Azov Battalion: “Azov” Special Purpose Regiment.
Swampy also had an Instagram page which appears to have been taken down, but we’ve managed to secure a couple of shots from his account for readers reference. One photo in particular shows Swampy in fatigues and is tagged with an ominous message reading “Calm before the storm”.
Some very unflattering messages have since been posted to Swampy’s vKontakte wall following his appearance on the video.
The Daily Lede blog 
Russia will never allow any part of Ukraine to joint Nato.Now hypothetical question,What would USA do if one of there’s state decide to separate from US and Russians send agent provocateurs to get involved in meddling in there’s affair? I know is overkill but compare,how many times in todays world.Now twice in Ukraine,former Yugoslavia,Syria and list go on and on.
Apples and oranges.
Eastern Ukraine is predominantly Russian speaking and the people identify with Russian culture.
The Maiden brought into significant influence the Right Sector and other Bandera themed groups.
In Odessa it was Right Sector idealists who burned and murdered over 40 people who were holding a pro-referendum rally.
Politicians in Kiev with pro-Russian views have been bashed, sprayed with paint and thrown in garbage cans.
Crimean protestors returning home from Kiev have been shot dead for trying to flee by Right Sector militants after their bus was stopped.
There are street marches in western Ukraine where people carry torches and should, “glory to heroes and death to enemies,” and “Russians on knives”.
The above examples is what helped Anti-maiden to grow and led to the referendums in Donetsk and Luhansk.
How did the Kiev government respond? They sent the military and indiscriminately shelled civilians whereby men, women and children were killed.
How would you expect the people in Donetsk and Luhansk to react? Put down their weapons and let bygones be bygones?
What is really happening is that the lives of the people in Donbass are simply less important that U.S. geo-strategic goals and thus they are the unfortunate collateral damage.
The blood is also on our hands if we support it.
BS. Stop watching RT and stuff
Maybe if Russia didn’t support a dictator that stole over $100 billion from the third poorest country in Europe you wouldn’t have this problem today. Blaming the US instead of the one actually at fault, Russia, is just fallacious. Russia caused this and Russia wants it to stay a frozen conflict. It’s doing the exact same thing it did in Georgia.
It’s Ukraine’s decision to join NATO. Not Russia’s. And Russia is only pushing them more towards NATO by attacking them.
Tom– you are a total nitwit.
It’s so easy these days for these roaming serial murders to find ‘safe’ places to meet up and work as a collective. Seeing photos of them firing ordinance at Ukrainian residential buildings with looks of glee on their faces as they kill civilians in their homes, shocked me beyond belief. Evil doers.
What the fuck are you even babbling about? This guy is removing explosives from a school, not killing pe. Go suck a Muslim dick, you wretched cunt.
Victor, you foul-mouthed cretin. A lake of fire is reserved for you where your soul will burn forever.
His real name is Chris Garrett – “Swampy” is his nickname – and he is originally from the Isle of Man.
Here’s a story from his hometown newspaper showing him working as a volunteer clearing landmines in Burma last year.

No, that’s BS. Otherwise at least one of them could be captured by the separatists which never happened
So American and European mercenary fighters and active duty special ops troops can infiltrate and fight on the side of our so called “Western Alliance Allies” … wearing the uniform of whatever nation state the Zionist financed War Machine decides to destroy without any regard to international law … but the blowback is considered “terrorism” ! It’s OK for a Jewish nutcase from London or New York to wear the uniform of the IDF and kill the women and children of Gaza … but a violent Islamic nutcase in London is deemed the devil. I think it’s about timeTony Blair, George Bush, and Prick Cheney to be renditioned, waterboarded, indicted, convicted, and executed for treason. Just for starters. And Bendyamind Netanscrewyou ? Airdrop the bastard over Damascus. And Islam ? The right of return for all of them. Saudi Arabia needs settlements in the desert. The whole situation is a sorry statement on the negligence of citizens to be well informed about the corruption of government officials. We get exactly what we deserve for being so stupid.
Stfu, you dumb cunt. You sound like every other retard that things he’s “enlightened” by goddamn counterculture shit tier website. Go blow Alex Jones, dumbass.
Victor—you are foul and stupid
Nope Victor, I’m gonna blow your dumb ass
There is only one person capable of doing just that–President Vladimir Putin. Time to prosecute war criminals and drag out the guillotine.

Being that Ukraine, the EU and the USA has said that they are not sending in mercenaries to fight (provoke by agency) in the Ukraine I would say they need to be treated just like American and British citizens who wish to go fight for Al Qaeda (ISIS) in Syria.
And yes, I know that ISIS was invented, trained and funded by the USA.
It’s my guess that this Brit “Swampy” was probably in Syria wearing an ISIS uniform a week before he showed up in Mariupol wearing his true colors.
It is also my guess that British Law (Just like US Law) prohibits it’s citizens from fighting in another Country under any other uniform than it’s own military wears.
So – Why has the British Prime Minister not come forth with a warrant for Swampy’s arrest for breaking this super important Law?
Answer: The Euro – and keeping Ukraine on it, period.
Never thought I’d say such a thing but… I wish my president was Putin and not some Muslim terrorist with drones and a pen.
Stfu, you dumb cunt. You sound like every other retard that things he’s “enlightened” by goddamn counterculture shit tier website. Go blow Alex Jones, dumbass.
Victor Kargan, you are an empty space occupied by sausage meat and a confused mind. Go away.
Rdu..We need to support Putin in 2016, acting as advisory and prosecution for the American people, who have been so lied to about the real nature of the world.
I’ve never seen so many people jump on the “this man is evil and wrongdooer” bandwagon.
The man is an EOD specialist…. He makes explosives safe and removes them. That’s his job.
He spends alot of time in the Philippines doing mine clearence….now tell me an evil man would put his own life at risk for people he doesn’t know……
He volunteers. He doesn’t get paid. Why should the British government arrest a man who has done nothing wrong except clear explosives….
Do some damned research before believing all the media discrediting people.
Then why has his profiles been removed? And you mean why should a politician volounteer and shake hands and kiss babys for next sending military into other countrys and bomb them to pieces?
If his identity gets out (like it now has) he will more than likely become a bigger target to set an example
swampthang nice name or is really you Chris Garrett? or should we call you swampy.
Any way the reason every has jumped on this is because he (or you) joined a far right neo nazi regiment.
Anyone who believes the Azov regiment are not neo Nazi’s please see following link

GONE: PROPHECY-TONGUES-KNOWLEDGE. REMAIN: FAITH-HOPE-LOVE. BY STEVE FINNELL
When are the gifts of prophecy, tongues, knowledge to be done away? When do faith, hope, and love remain?
GONE: PROPHECY-TONGUES-KNOWLEDGE.
1 Corinthians 13:8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge,it will be done away. (NASB)
When will the supernatural gifts of prophecy, tongues, and knowledge be done away? Answer: When the perfect comes.
1 Corinthians 13:9-10 For we know in part and we prophesy in part; 10 but when the perfect comes,the partial will be done away.(NASB)
The perfect in verse 10 means complete. The church in its infant stage did not have God’s complete revelation. The twenty first century church has God’s complete revelation, the Holy Bible. The church does not need new prophecy, tongues, or supernatural knowledge in order to be the church of Christ. The only thing the church needs is God’s written word, the Bible.
Some argue that the perfect in (1 Corinthians 13:10) is in reference to Jesus when He returns to take His church to heaven. Jesus is not the perfect. Jesus is the Christ. Jesus is the Son of God.
REMAIN: FAITH-HOPE-AND- LOVE.
1 Corinthians 13:13 But now faith, hope, love,abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.
When did faith, hope, and love remain? Answer: After the church had the completed Bible. After the church was fully established. After the gifts of prophecy, tongues, and knowledge had vanished.
Many proclaim that faith, hope, and love will remain after Jesus takes His church to heaven. That, of course, is illogical.
FAITH: Christians will not need faith in heaven. We will see Jesus face to face. If you are in heaven; trust in Jesus will be a reality. All Christians will have already receive the inheritance of eternal life.
HOPE: Christians will not need hope in heaven. The hope of eternal life will be realized.
There will be no need for future hope.
LOVE: Love is the only thing we will take to heaven. Love is forever.
THE CHURCH NEEDS FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE, NOW.
God has given us the Bible for a reason. The Bible has all the instructions and information that the church of Jesus Christ needs in order to be His church.
(All Scripture quotes from: NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE)
