Two Britons have been denied pardon, after being sentenced to death in a Russian-backed court

The leader of the Russian-backed Donetsk region has denied calls for immunity after two Britons Aiden Aslin and Shaun Pinner and Moroccan Brahim Saadoun were captured while fighting for Ukraine.

The court hearing was held in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, which is one of Russia’s proxies in eastern Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Britain has slammed the court’s decision though as a “sham judgment”.

“I utterly condemn the sentencing of Aiden Aslin and Shaun Pinner held by Russian proxies in eastern Ukraine. They are prisoners of war. This is a sham judgment with absolutely no legitimacy.”
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss

Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s spokesperson says the prisoners of war are entitled to immunity.

British tragedy

Former British soldier, Jordan Gately, has been shot and killed while defending Ukraine in the city of Sievierodonetsk.

His family posted to social media saying he was a “true hero”.

“He loved his job and we are so proud of him, he truly was a hero and will forever be in our hearts.”

Ukrainian Presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak also paid tribute to Gatley in a Twitter post.

Meanwhile, Russia has continued to move in with full force in the eastern regions of Ukraine, using artillery bombardment to gain ground.

New reports suggest they have destroyed a major Ukrainian bridge that was responsible for allowing civilians to escape and the movement of military equipment.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
