Fraser Good, a British citizen and veteran, recently received surprising news that his name and photo were included on a wanted list operated by Russia. Despite this revelation, Fraser remains steadfast in his support for Ukraine and sees being featured on the list as a "badge of honor" due to his service in the country's intense battles. He has even been targeted by Russian propaganda, with false claims that he had been killed in the war zone.
At only 27 years old, Fraser has already served in the British Army for seven years and has been living in Ukraine since March 2022. He has been on the front lines, fighting for Ukraine's freedom and refusing to back down until the country is truly free. His determination is evident in his response to the news of his inclusion on the wanted list, where he confidently states, "I absolutely love proving each and every one of you wrong each and every time."
Fraser is not the only British national on the list, as Metro also spoke to two others who were unaware of their inclusion. The website hosting the list has a Russian URL and an IP address located in Rostov-on-Don, a heavily militarized city in southern Russia. This leads to suspicion that the information was obtained through nefarious means, possibly with the help of Kremlin sources.
The list not only includes names and photos, but also personal information such as phone numbers and email addresses. Under each entry is a list of criminal charges, which some believe could be used to justify harsh punishments or even facilitate prisoner trades with Ukraine and its allies. It is believed that the list was put together by pro-Russian volunteers, but the sourcing of personal information suggests a deeper involvement with the Kremlin.
One British man, Mike Marley, who had 20 years of service in the British Army, was also included on the list. However, he had decided not to join the International Legion of the Defence of Ukraine, despite initially considering it. In November 2023, it was reported that a group of hackers known as "Joker DPR" had published the personal information of over 500 applicants for the Legion. Metro has reached out to the Legion for comment on the matter.
Mike's reaction to being on the list is one of surprise and concern, but he also sees the silver lining in that it means he can no longer travel to Russia, which he had no intention of doing anyway. He also expresses alarm at how easily his personal information was obtained and used without his knowledge. This further raises questions about the validity and purpose of the wanted list.
For Fraser, being on the wanted list only strengthens his resolve to stand with Ukraine and fight against Russian aggression. He sees it as a way for the enemy to know who he is and to proudly showcase his support for Ukraine. Despite the false information and attempts to discredit him, Fraser remains unshaken in his dedication to the country he now calls home.
Fraser Good, a proud British citizen, had a surprising and defiant reaction upon learning that his name had been added to a wanted list operated by Russia. As a veteran, Fraser stood by his principles and declared that he was honored to stand with Ukraine, despite the fact that his name and picture were included on the flawed database.
In an interview with Metro, Fraser shared that being featured on the list was like a badge of honor for him. He had served in some of the most intense battles of the war and was proud to have fought for the cause. The list not only included names of British nationals who had fought against Vladimir Putin's forces, but also those who had lost their lives on humanitarian missions. However, some names had a "destroyed" tag next to them, indicating that they had been killed in action.
Fraser himself had served in the hottest areas of the front line, including Kyiv, Irpin, and Kharkiv. He had even sustained major injuries from a tank round while bravely holding the line against a massive Russian advance in Donetsk. Despite the inaccuracies in the details of his entry on the list, Fraser saw it as a symbol of his dedication and loyalty to Ukraine.
He stated, "It would be nice for them to get at least one date right and the details are all off as well. But I definitely see being named on the list as a badge of honor. If anything, I want the enemy to know who I am because I am proud to stand with Ukraine."
At the age of 27, Fraser had spent seven years in the British Army before moving to Ukraine in March 2022. He had become a target for Russia's propaganda, with two claims being made that he had been killed in the war zone. In response to these claims, Fraser took to Facebook and boldly declared that he and his fellow soldiers would not stop fighting until Ukraine was free. He dismissed the propaganda and politics of Russia, stating that he enjoyed proving them wrong every time.
The list, supposedly compiled by pro-Russian volunteers, contained personal information such as phone numbers and email addresses. This raised concerns that the information may have been obtained through nefarious means, possibly with the help of Kremlin sources. Along with the names were trumped-up criminal charges, which could result in harsh punishments or be used as leverage for high-value prisoners held by Ukraine and its allies.
Metro spoke to three British nationals and one American man, all of whom were unaware that they had been included on the list. The website had a Russian URL and an IP address in Rostov-on-Don, a heavily militarized city in the south of the country.
Fraser Good had made the brave decision to leave his life in the East Midlands and start a new chapter in Ukraine after Russia's full-scale invasion. His courage and dedication to the cause were admirable, and he was not the only one who had chosen to stand with Ukraine.
Mike Marley, a Scottish man and former British Army soldier with 20 years of service, had also been included on the list. Upon being informed by Metro, he expressed his disgust for Putin and revealed that he had considered joining the International Legion of the Defence of Ukraine. However, he changed his mind due to his age and injuries. In November 2023, it was reported that a group called Joker DPR had published the names and personal information of over 500 applicants for the Legion. Metro reached out to the formation for comment.
Mike stated, "They have obviously got hold of documents from people who have enquired about going to Ukraine. I was going to go but I decided at my age I was too old with too many injuries. They must have got hold of documentation from the International Legion which has probably had my name on it. It's a bit alarming that they have got hold of my information. In practical terms though, all it probably means is that I can't go to Russia now, which I wouldn't want to do anyway."
