According To Russian Official Media, Two Additional Britons Who Were Apprehended By Russian Soldiers In Ukraine Have Been Accused Of Working As Mercenaries

In April, a chef named Dylan Healy who was serving as a volunteer aid worker was apprehended at a checkpoint.

The same day, Russia declared Andrew Hill had surrendered and broadcast a video of him dressed in military garb.

It comes after Shaun Pinner and Aiden Aslin, two further British males, were given death sentences last month.

They were charged with the same offenses as Mr. Healy and Mr. Hill at the hearing in an unrecognised Russian proxy court in eastern Ukraine.

Since then, the European Court of Human Rights has intervened to urge that the sentence be commuted.

However, Russia has rejected the call, claiming that it no longer follows the rulings of the Strasbourg court and that the pro-Russian, secessionist Donetsk People's Republic should decide what would happen to the men.

An anonymous official from the so-called Donetsk People's Republic allegedly stated in a report by Russia's Tass news agency that Mr. Healy and Mr. Hill would face trial for their "mercenary actions." According to the report, neither man was willing to help the authorities.

The accusations have not been independently verified.
