The Independent reported the information.
As an MP, Lopresti visited Ukraine and actively advocated for greater support to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. He also served in the British Army Reserve with the rank of corporal.
In November, after losing his parliamentary seat, he visited Ukraine. Lopresti admitted to the Independent that he had planned to join the International Legion from the very beginning.
"I did apply to join the legion in November, it took a while to find the best unit to utilise my experience and skills. It is a huge honour and an immense privilege for me to serve in the Ukrainian military and be able to help the gallant and amazing Ukrainian people in any way I can," the soldier stated.
