Ukraine– One of the world’s best snipers, ‘Wali’, arrived in war-torn Ukraine this week to fight the Russian forces. Wali killed six Russian forces in just two days.
Wali, a French-Canadian computer scientist, arrived in Ukraine on Wednesday as part of the Canadian contingent. He said that he felt “like a firefighter” when Ukrainian President Zelenskyy called on foreigners to join Ukraine’s fight against Russia. He reportedly said, “I want to help them.”
Who is Wali?
Wali is considered one of the best snipers in the world. A good sniper can provide 5-6 kills per day and a great sniper can get 7-10. Wali, a 40-year old scientist, can provide up to 40 kills per day on a productive campaign.

In an interview with CBC News, Wali said that his wife opposed the idea of him coming to Ukraine. However, Wali wanted to help Ukrainians to fight against Russian forces. Wali also has a baby back home. The baby will turn one next week while his father fights the war in Ukraine.
