Aiden Aslin, a former care worker from Newark, was captured by Russian forces whilst defending the city of Mariupol for the Ukrainian army. The 28-year-old has made national headlines during his battle against Vladimir Putin's forces.
He shared a number of video messages to his social media profiles, updating followers on the latest from the Ukrainian frontlines, before he was eventually captured and shown on Russian Media. Newark MP Robert Jenrick expressed concern about Mr Aslin's situation in Parliament and his mother Ang Wood told Nottinghamshire Live that she wants her "hero back".
