29-year-old Robert Deegan died protecting his colleagues from a Russian attack in eastern Ukraine last Thursday
Tributes have been to this former Army Ranger Wing soldier – who died fighting Russian invaders in Ukraine.
Sources have told us that Mr Deegan joined the Defence Forces elite Army Ranger Wing in 2017 – just three years after he passed out as a private. Sources say he was seriously injured in October 2022 when he was caught up in an IED blast in the east of the country. He lost an eye in that incident and returned home to Ireland to recuperate.
"It is something that constantly happens, even if it's not to you, it's to someone else, or to someone you know."Graham Dale, 45, from Dublin was killed in December 2023.
