One of the best sniper ‘Wali’ joins Ukraine forces

As the situation intensifies in Ukraine, with Russia dropping bombs every day, one of the world’s best snipers, ‘Wali’, has arrived in the embattled nation to help them fight the Russian forces. He is a veteran of the royal Canadian 22nd regiment.

As per reports, Wali has already killed 6 Russian soldiers.

Wali has come to Ukraine as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s urged foreign soldiers to join the country in its fight against Russia.

 “I want to help them. It’s as simple as that. I have to help because there are people here being bombarded just because they want to be European and not Russian,” Wali said in a recent interview.

He has previously served in Afghanistan war during the operations in Kandahar between 2009 and 2011. He got his nickname ‘Wali’ during this time only.

He built a reputation during his tours to Syria and Iraq.

During June 2017 in Iraq, he shot an IS jihadist at an incredible distance of 3,540 metres. This is the longest distance any sniper has ever hit a target.
