Aiden Aslin, 28, from Nottinghamshire, Shaun Pinner, 48, from Bedfordshire, and a third man, Moroccan national Saaudun Brahim were all sentenced to death in Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine.
Today, Mr Aslin's family have spoken about their "worst nightmare" as they revealed they have recently spoken to Aiden who is "extremely upset" after he was told his "time is running out" by his captors. "I have to believe what Aiden has said to us, that if the DPR don't get some response then they will execute him. Obviously I hope that isn't true."A number of photos and videos of him have been released on Russian TV since his capture, in which he appears injured.
It comes after a Kremlin spokesman said Moscow would be willing to listen to London regarding the cases of two Britons sentenced to death for fighting Russian forces in Ukraine.Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said she will do "whatever is necessary" to secure the release of Aiden Aslin and Shaun Pinner, saying on Tuesday the Government is "working flat out" to secure their release after their "sham" trial by a pro-Moscow proxy.
This is typical psychological torture. They will put him through multiple mock executions. In the end, I believe he will be traded for some important Russian.
