A British traitor who joined the Russian army in Ukraine to help Putin in his bloody and unprovoked war claims he has been granted Russian citizenship.
Aiden Minnis, 37, from Chippenham, fled to take up arms for the Russian tyrant when war broke out in 2022, along with Ben Stimson, 48, from Oldham. They fought alongside Kremlin forces in the Donetsk and Donbas regions of Ukraine.
Minnis, a former member of the far-right National Front, has proudly declared that he “hates” the UK and previously called Britain a “fascist state” just weeks after Putin won a sham election in Russia where his opponents were dead. or imprisoned.
Now Minnis, who also has a conviction for a racist attack, has pledged loyalty to Russia and its dictator, proudly showing a video of his Russian passport.
‘I have a Russian passport. “I’m Russian now,” she said.

Minnis fled the UK to take up arms in the name of the Russian tyrant when war broke out in 2022.
No doubt Minnis has been granted citizenship in the country because Putin’s cronies see him as a useful propaganda tool.

The passport that the camera raised is an internal identification document that is not valid for traveling abroad. This means that his new nationality will not save him from prosecution and jail in Britain, nor from extradition to the United Kingdom if he ever returns to the West.
Previously the He promised to continue putting the murdered Ukrainians and English mercenaries “in wooden boxes.”
In his most recent video he repeated his hatred for the UK and his joy at the fact that his new passport made him “officially Russian”.
“Of course I’m happy,” said Minnis, who claims to have found love in Russia. ‘I’m starting a new life in Russia. Now I’m Russian. I am happy to be Russian. I reiterate that I condemn my country or origin.
‘I hate him for what they have done to the people of Donbass, to Russia, and what they continue to do. And I really want to start a new life.’
Minnis added that he hopes Putin’s army will immediately send him to the front.

Ben Stimson, who fled with Minnis to Russia, now complains that he has not received his passport.

‘After my vacation I’m going to a storm battalion. So things are going to get more and more difficult for me,” he said. I know it’s dangerous. War is dangerous.
The video was created by Readovka, propaganda media outlet linked to the Kremlin.
The agency participated alongside Putin-supporting politicians in the Russian republic of Udmurtia, home of the Kalashnikov weapons manufacturing plant, in obtaining their citizenship at breakneck speed.
Former drug addict Minnis, who declared that Putin “is still the greatest politician in the world,” traveled to Ukraine in January and calls himself “Patriot Z” and “sapper of the Russian army.”
At home, his family has disowned him, saying they “want nothing to do with him.”
A UK government spokesperson previously said of her case: ‘Reports of British citizens’ involvement in an illegal invasion are shocking and their alleged actions are reprehensible.
“Those who travel from the UK to conflict zones to engage in illegal activities should expect to be investigated upon their return.”
Stimpson, who traveled with Minnis, now complains that he has not yet received his Russian passport.

Stimpson, who traveled with Minnis, now complains that he has not yet received his Russian passport.
“I still don’t have my documents,” he said. “I have another three weeks left on my visa and then I’m running out of time.”
Stimpson, who had previously been jailed in Britain for committing terrorist acts, said he had previously been granted “political asylum” in Russia.
Stimson previously boasted that he feels like “a hero and a minor celebrity” in Russia and asked, “Why would I go back?” [to the UK]?’
UK military figures have called for the traitorous pair to be jailed.
Former head of the British army, General Lord Richard Dannatt, previously said: “That British citizens are so extraordinarily wrong to fight for Vladimir Putin is deeply disappointing.”
“If they return to this country, they should face a full investigation and possible prosecution.”
Former army commander Colonel Richard Kemp described the men as an “absolute disgrace”.
“They are traitors who, upon their return to the UK, should be arrested and imprisoned.”
Minnis reportedly has a history of violence that includes racist attacks and beatings of homeless people.
Citizenship in Russia is granted in the name of the Russian president.
