UK Foreign Secretary slams death sentences for two British nationals in breakaway region of Ukraine


UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has labelled the death sentences given to two British nationals by a court in a breakaway region of eastern Ukraine..."an egregious breach of the Geneva convention."

She made the comments after a telephone call with her Ukrainian counterpart, Dmytro Kuleba.

The two British men and a Moroccan citizen - who were captured while fighting in the Ukrainian army in Mariupol - are being held in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic.
