The family of a British soldier captured by Russian forces and paraded as a prisoner of war say they are desperate for their “funny and much loved” son to be released.
Shaun Pinner, 48, was taken prisoner in Marupil and transferred to Donetsk, where the Russians released a video of him confirming who he is.
Now the family of the soldier, who served in tours of Northern Ireland and Bosnia before relocating to Ukraine in 2018 where he met his wife, have released a statement.
