The family of a British prisoner of war who was sentenced to death by pro- Russian separatists have spoken of their relief after he was finally released.
Shaun Pinner, 48, from Watford was one of five Brits released from detention in Ukraine this week following mediation talks brokered by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The British army veteran was captured along with 28-year-old Aiden Aslin back in April while fighting in Ukraine before appearing in court in the separatist Donetsk People's Republic (DPR).
