The ex-UK army comrade of a British soldier sentenced to death in Ukraine has branded the 'disgraceful' judgement a war crime.
Aiden Aslin, 28, and British Army veteran Shaun Pinner, 48, were convicted of taking action towards violent seizure of power at a show trial in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, a Kremlin proxy.
Colonel Richard Kemp, former commander of British forces in Afghanistan is a former comrade of Mr Pinner’s as they served in the same Royal Anglian Regiment together.
