A Vladimir Putin ally has accused Britain of being 'arrogant' over the death sentence given to two Brits.
The Russian President's ambassador in London, Andrey Kelin, revealed Boris Johnson ’s government had appealed to Moscow concerning Aiden Aslin, 28, and Shaun Pinner, 48.
The men surrendered to the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic forces in Mariupol, and have since been sentenced by a court in the rebel region to be shot by a firing squad.
