According to the publication, Garrett died near the city of Izyum, Kharkiv region. Before the war, he took care of trees, and after the full-scale invasion, he went to Ukraine to help defuse mines and unexploded ordnance.
The Briton fought against the Russian occupiers as part of the Azov unit. For this, the so-called "DPR court" sentenced him to 14 years of imprisonment on trumped-up charges of "terrorism".
Garrett himself called it "a pathetic attempt to denigrate him by those who killed, raped and tortured thousands of civilians in Ukraine."
