A BRITISH war hero dubbed “Rambo” after he survived a firefight with Russian forces is back on Ukraine’s front line.Shareef Amin, 40, was raked by a hail of bullets as he ran through enemy fire before being blown off his feet by artillery rounds.
He was warned he faced losing his right leg and arm.
But now after being treated by pioneering medics in the UK the former British soldier is returning to rejoin his brothers in arms.
Shareef, who served two tours of Afghanistan, told The Sun: “I couldn’t turn my back on the people of Ukraine.
"I originally went to fight for freedom at a time when peace in Europe was being threatened by a crazed dictator.
"That job is not over. Until it is, until Ukraine wins, I will do whatever I can to help.
“I made a commitment to the people of that country and I intend to honour it until the very last bullet is fired.
"I love this country and I love its people. I was badly injured last year and I’m still adapting to manage my pain but whilst I still have breath in my body I’ll keep fighting the good fight.”
Shareef, from Bristol, has already linked up with Ukrainian marines in the flood-hit city of Kherson, just weeks after the Kakhovka dam was blown up.
He first answered Ukraine’s call for help in March last year.
But in October an attack by troops of Vladimir Putin, on his position left him with shrapnel wounds and he was shot twice.
He crawled through the mud for help before being in hospital for weeks.
He was flown home on a private medical jet just before Christmas.
Surgeons in Bristol then set about rebuilding him before months of rehab — ready for his return to war.
