Let R be a ring with 1 whose nil subrings are nilpotent modulo the sum of nilpotent ideals. It is proved that if G is a locally solvable group of unipotent elements in R, then the subring generated by {g −1 g ∈ G} is nil. This result implies a result of Sizer showing that a solvable group of unipotent matrices over a skew field can be simultaneously triangularized.
