Ukraine Russia Online: The struggle for Severodonetsk will decide, according to Zelenský, the fate of eastern Ukraine – SME

Two British captives are facing 20 years in prison by Russian forces. This is stated in a video published by the Russian media. Aiden Aslin and Shaun Pinner were detained in April as they fought on the Ukrainian side against the Russian invading forces. Aslina asks if she “confesses” to the crime. The British replied: “Yes.” The charge is punishable by 15 to 20 years in prison, RIA Novosti said. The British Conservative lawmaker Robert Jenrick has condemned “false, staged charges” against both Britons and accused Russia of “totally heinous violations of international law”. He also said that Aslina should return home at the earliest opportunity, perhaps through the exchange of prisoners of war. (TASR)
