The only Russian politician who can pardon two British fighters’ death sentence has said he “sees no grounds” to save them.
Denis Pushilin is expected to hear pardon pleas from Aiden Aslin, 28, and Shaun Pinner, 48, along with 21-year-old Moroccan Sadun Brahim.
However, the leader of Vladimir Putin-backed separatist Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) has pre-empted the legal processes to come out ahead of the pardon pleas and already suggested he won’t grant any form of clemency.
