The devastated daughter of a man captured while defending Europe from a repeat of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster says he's been abandoned to waste away inside a Russian prison cell.
Veronika Martseva, from Chernhiv, explained how her dad Shein Arkady Mykhailovych has been held in Russian custody for a year after being seized following a fierce firefight at the end of February last year.
Shein was one of 168 national guardsmen captured after the battle of Chernobyl. He and his comrades were taken to a site in Bryansk Oblast where most remain to this day.
