Don Rawlings, who served with 3 Para in the Falklands War, decided he needed to see history once more unfold in real-time. So he went to Ukraine. He says he's not gone there to join in the fighting, and will "extract himself [as] I'm not going to be a burden on the British government". A spokesman for the FCDO says: "The safety of British nationals in Ukraine is a top priority. Specially trained UK crisis response teams have been sent to countries neighbouring Ukraine to support our consular operations. We advise British nationals to leave Ukraine immediately if they judge it is safe to do so. Our travel advice continues to be updated with the latest guidance, and those requiring assistance should call +380 44 490 3660 or +44 (0)1908 516666."
