The mother of an aid worker thought to be from Manchester has said she is living her 'worst nightmare' after her son was reportedly captured by Russian forces in Ukraine.
Linda Urey told Sky News from her home in Preston, Lancashire, that she had "begged" her son Paul Urey not to return to the war-torn country last week. She said he had returned to Ukraine about a week-and-a-half ago after he'd come home for leave.
Non-profit group The Presidium Network said Paul and another humanitarian aid volunteer, Dylan Healey were captured on Monday morning (April 25) at a checkpoint south of the city of Zaporizhzhia in south-eastern Ukraine.
