Two British aid workers - one from Warrington - have been captured by Russian soldiers in Ukraine, it was reported today. The two men, both volunteer humanitarian workers, were said to have been taken by Vladimir Putin's forces while heading towards Dniprorudne in the Zaporizhzhia Oblast region of south-eastern Ukraine on Monday.
Paul Urey, from Warrington, and Dylan Healy, 22, have not been heard from since 4am on Monday. Presidium Network, a group doing relief work in Ukraine and said to have been monitoring their efforts, raised the alarm, reports The Mirror.
Paul, 45, and Dylan were driving to help evacuate a woman and two children when communications between them ceased, according to the reports. However, suspicion was raised when communication resumed sometime later but containing uncharacteristic errors.
