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.

Liverpool is still chasing a historic quadruple after winning the FA Cup in a penalty shootout against Chelsea at Wembley. Jurgen Klopp's side duplicated their Carabao Cup final success from February, with Alisson saving Mason Mount's penalty and Kostas Tsimikas securing Liverpool's second title of the season. The Reds are still in the Premier League championship chase and will face Real Madrid in the Champions League final. With the brilliant Luis Diaz and Andrew Robertson hitting the woodwork, Liverpool had the better of an entertaining final, though it may come at a cost with Mohamed Salah coming out hurt in the first half and Virgil van Dijk going off after 90 minutes. Chelsea and manager Thomas Tuchel have lost three FA Cup finals in a row, despite having chances - Marcos Alonso hitting the post and also being denied by Alisson - and become the first team to lose three in a row. When Edouard Mendy saved Sadio Mane's penalty in the FA Cup final, when the Liverpool f
