Warrington humanitarian worker 'kidnapped' by Russians in Ukraine

A man from Warrington is one of two British volunteers who have reportedly been kidnapped by Russian forces during the conflict in Ukraine, leading to a plea from his family for help.

The Mirror reports that Paul Urey is said to have been taken while doing humanitarian work in the war-torn country. The 45-year-old was kidnapped along with another volunteer - Dylan Healy, 22.

The pair were reportedly on their way to Dniprorudne in the Zaporizhzhia Oblast, which is located the south-east of Ukraine. However, they have not been heard from since Monday, April 25.
