A former Tennent’s brewery worker who left Scotland to fight against Ukraine for Vladimir Putin is trying to become a Russian citizen.Jay Fraser said he wants to be granted permanent residency because of his “military service”.

Fraser, 24, posted on X: “I still have my British passport and will be a dual citizen technically, but if I was to set foot on British soil, I’d be arrested.”In response to a comment that said: “Good riddance, please never come back,” Fraser replied: “I never will.” Fraser, from Dunblane, ­Stirlingshire, previously revealed that he cut ties with family to join Russian forces on the front line in eastern Europe.In a propaganda video of him in military gear with a Russian flag cap, he said: “I burned all my bridges and came here.

I believe this is a war not only between Russia and Ukraine, but also a war between eastern and western civilisation.”Fraser, who joined the Russian front line in August, said: “I came here not for money, or to boost my standard of living etc.

but for ideological, ­philosophical, and spiritual reasons – I am not afraid to die for these.”He called on others who wanted to “follow in my footsteps” to send him a message.
