#AceBreakingNews says according to media the trained killer, nicknamed Wali, previously travelled to Iraq on his own to fight against ISIS in 2015, The Sun reports.

He crossed the border into Ukraine today, leaving his wife and infant son behind in Canada. 

The 40-year-old was deployed twice to Afghanistan as a sniper with the Canadian Armed Forces between 2009 and 2011. 

Wali fought in the same Canadian unit as the sniper with the world’s longest confirmed kill, of 3.5km. 

He answered a call on Saturday from Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who announced: “All foreigners wishing to join the resistance against the Russian occupiers and protect international security are invited by the Ukrainian government to come to our territory to join the ranks of our territorial forces.”

The sniper, whose nickname was given to him while in Afghanistan, said he was contacted by a friend on Friday who had been organising “neutral convoys” of humanitarian aid for several months to bring food to the occupied Donbas region. 

“He told me they needed a sniper. It’s like a firefighter who hears the alarm ringing. I had to go,” Wali told French-Canadian publication La Presse

He leaves behind his wife and baby son, who will celebrate his first birthday without him next week.

“I know, it’s just awful,” he said. 

“But me, in my head, when I see the images of destructions in Ukraine, it is my son that I see, in danger and who is suffering. 

“When I see a destroyed building, it is the person who owns it, who sees his pension fund go up in smoke, that I see. I go there for humanitarian reasons.” 

His wife, who asked to have her identity kept secret for security reasons, said she reluctantly allowed him to go. 

“I knew that if I didn’t let him go, I would have broken him,” she said. 

“It would have been like putting him in jail.”

Wali told CBC that he and three other former Canadian soldiers who made the journey with him were greeted with hugs, handshakes, flags and photos by Ukrainians after they crossed the border. 

“They were so happy to have us,” he said. “It’s like we were friends right away.” 

He said he crossed over from Poland, travelling against the tide of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian refugees fleeing in the opposite direction. 

Wali, who fought alongside the Kurds against ISIS in Syria several years ago, said he had travelled to Ukraine because “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,” he added. 

Since crossing into Ukraine, he and other veterans have taken shelter in an abandoned home, ahead of linking up with Ukrainian authorities. 

Ukraine eventually hopes to build up a reserve unit of up to 10,000 officers and 120,000 volunteers.

One of world’s deadliest snipers arrives in Ukraine to fight Putin

One of the ‘world’s best snipers’ has vowed to take on Putin’s troops.

The mysterious marksman – known only by the nickname ‘Wali’ – has answered president Volodymyr Zelensky’s call for foreign volunteers to join the fight in Ukraine.

His name translates to ‘protector’ or ‘guardian’ in Arabic. 

The 40-year-old had been working as a computer programmer in Canada when the war unfolded.

Wali, a veteran of the Royal Canadian 22nd Regiment, said Ukraine’s call for help felt ‘like a firefighter who hears the alarm ringing’.

He said he even missed his son’s first birthday to make the trip.

Wali has been in the warzone for over a week now – and at points swapped his rifle for a camera.

He shares photos online, adding: ‘I feel like I’m the spectator of WW3 in colour.’

Wali had flown to Poland and driven toward the war zone with a friend who was transporting humanitarian supplies.

But the pair ran out of gas and went searching for help.

At a Ukrainian checkpoint the men – and Wali’s AK-47 – were initially met with ‘dark looks’ until the soldiers realised they were not Russians.

Wali wrote on his Facebook page called The Torch and Sword: ‘The unit commander escorted us to a gas station with a little bit of gas left for the military. 

‘We were invited to a small restaurant by the roadside. 

‘A hot meal was prepared for us by a lady. The lady was wearing a yellow scarf on her arm, a symbol of Ukrainian fighters.

‘Ukrainians are tough on invaders, but welcoming with those who come help them.’

He also has met several ‘warrior’ locals, such as a farmer who stalks Russian tanks and, when they break down, moves in with a tractor to tow them away.

Wali has previously been dubbed one of the world’s best snipers.

And he also worked alongside a Canadian soldier who famously shot dead an Islamic State terrorist from an incredible distance of 3,450m – more than two miles away – in 2017.

It was a feat described as a grim ‘world record’.
