Military veterans are traveling to Ukraine to help defend the Eastern European nation after Russian leader Vladimir Putin gave the order to invade his neighbor and one of those making the journey is a Canadian man who is renowned as one of the world’s deadliest snipers.

The sharpshooter, who is only known as Wali as a safety precaution to protect his family, served in Afghanistan Royal 22e Regiment and arrived in Ukraine earlier this week when he crossed the Polish border into hostile territory. He was spurred into action by a plea for help from President Volodymyr Zelenskyy who is desperate for help to beat the Russians back across the border.

“He has a kill distance of over two miles, according to the Mirror, and is known as one of the world’s most deadly snipers,” Fox News reported.

Wali arrived with three other former Canadian soldiers who were “greeted with hugs, handshakes, flags and photos by Ukrainians after they crossed the border,” according to the CBC.

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

According to the CBC, “There were buses everywhere, he said, and people bundled against the cold trudging on foot toward the checkpoint and safety. On his way deeper into Ukraine, he said he saw scattered bits of garbage and empty vehicles abandoned by their owners — who apparently hiked the final few kilometres over the frozen frontier.”

“I want to help them. It’s as simple as that,” said Wali, who also joined Kurdish forces who were battling ISIS extremists in northern Iraq. “I have to help because there are people here being bombarded just because they want to be European and not Russian.”

Wali, who is a computer programmer with a young family, told the CBC, “A week ago I was still programming stuff,” he said. “Now I’m grabbing anti-tank missiles in a warehouse to kill real people …That’s my reality right now.”

Twitter reacted to the news.

The UK Sun reported that the sniper “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” and that “Wali told French-Canadian publication La Presse: ‘He told me they needed a sniper. It’s like a firefighter who hears the alarm ringing. I had to go.'”

Wali will miss his son’s first birthday this week. He called it the “hardest part” of the decision to join the fight in Ukraine. His wife was opposed to the idea, he said: “You can imagine what she said and how she thinks,” according to the CBC.

Ukrainians who are fighting for their lives need all the help that they can get as punishing sanctions along with major U.S. corporations abandoning Russia have done little to convince Putin to ease up.
