Officials are understood to be actively investigating cases of two Britons captured and charged with ‘mercenary activities’
The Foreign Office has said it condemns the exploitation of prisoners of war and civilians for political purposes, after two British men were captured by Russian forces and charged with being mercenaries in Ukraine.
Cambridgeshire aid worker Dylan Healy, 22, and military volunteer Andrew Hill have been charged with carrying out “mercenary activities”, officials in the Moscow-backed self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic said, according to the Russian state news agency Tass.
