At a secret location outside Kyiv, the brigadier watched as explosions hammered the concrete structure that his team of ten British military engineers, intelligence officers and diplomats had clandestinely helped to create.
The rocket test, described by sources to The Sunday Times, was the culmination of months of hard work, under the constant threat of Russian airstrikes. When it finished in February, the British engineers, alongside teams from America, Germany and Japan, advised their Ukrainian colleagues that they should build the structures to protect Ukraine’s energy grid from Russian attack.
