Two British soldiers captured by Russia while fighting for Ukraine have been handed a horror death sentence by pro-Moscow rebels in what Britain immediately branded a “sham judgment.”
Aiden Aslin, 28, and British Army veteran Shaun Pinner, 48, were convicted of taking action towards violent seizure of power at a show trial in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, a Kremlin proxy.
It is believed both men’s horrific sentencing will involve death by firing squad, breaking Geneva Convention rules on prisoner of war treatment and prisoner of war immunity.
