UK Health Minister Aiden Aslin was confirmed to be released on Wednesday. Five British nationals captured by Russian-backed forces in Ukraine have been released as part of a prisoner swap, the Prime Minister has confirmed.
She thanked the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, “for his efforts to secure the release of detainees, and Saudi Arabia for their assistance”. “The relevant Saudi authorities received and transferred them from Russia to the kingdom and are facilitating procedures for their respective countries,” the statement said.
Mr Aslin, 28, who has a Ukrainian passport, was captured along with fellow Briton Shaun Pinner in April while fighting with the Ukrainian Marines.
