Russia should bear 'full responsibility' over reported death of Manchester aid worker Paul Urey in Ukraine

The Foreign Secretary, Liz Truss, has demanded Moscow bears the 'full responsibility' over the reported death of a Manchester aid volunteer while being detained by separatists in Ukraine.

Paul Urey, 45, died in captivity on Sunday, according to the human rights ombudsperson for the Moscow-supported leadership in Donetsk. His mother, Linda Urey, expressed her anger, branding the separatists 'murderers', and asking: "Why did you let him die?"

Russian ambassador to the UK, Andrei Kelin, was summoned to the Foreign Office to face questioning over what happened to Mr Urey, who was detained near the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia in April.
