The mother of a British man who committed suicide after fighting in Ukraine says former Prime Minister Liz Truss has “blood on her hands.”
Then 23-year-old Harry Gregg volunteered for Volodymyr Zelensky’s army after former prime minister Liz Truss said she “absolutely” supported people traveling to Ukraine to fight. Shortly after the Russian intervention in February 2022, then-Foreign Secretary Truss said Zelensky’s forces were “fighting for freedom and democracy, not just for Ukraine but for the whole of Europe,” adding that “absolutely, if people want to support that struggle, I would support them in doing that.”
Gregg’s mother, Sandi Gregg, claims Truss’s statement drove her son to join the Ukrainian forces. “He suffered from ADHD and was very impetuous. He phoned me the day after Liz had said that and told me ‘Mum, I’m going to Ukraine,’” Gregg told The Daily Mail, adding: “He couldn’t be talked down from it. To all intents and purposes he had no military experience whatsoever. Liz Truss has blood on her hands.”
An inquest heard Gregg had a harrowing experience in the trenches and suffered from PTSD after returning home. He hanged himself the day after he turned 25.
This week, the Russian Defense Ministry said its forces killed approximately 6,000 foreign fighters in Ukraine since the war began. Warmongering rhetoric from anti-Russian globalists like Truss doubtless inspired many of them to join up.
