Separatist forces in eastern Ukraine have accelerated plans to execute two Britons.
Aiden Aslin and Shaun Pinner, who had joined the Ukrainian Army, were captured by Moscow’s forces near Mariupol in April.
Their predicament worsened last night when pro-Russian officials in the Donetsk People’s Republic said they were ‘preparing a place for their execution’.
The chilling statement said the Britons would be killed by firing squad, with no prior warning given. The date of their executions will not be released in advance.
