LONDON—Britain on Friday condemned Russian proxy authorities in Donbas for what it called an “egregious breach” of the Geneva convention in sentencing to death two British nationals captured in the separatist region while fighting for Ukraine.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s spokesman said he was talking to Ukraine rather than Russia over the situation facing Aiden Aslin and Shaun Pinner, who were convicted of “mercenary activities” on Thursday by a court in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR).
