Despite this, he died on July 10,” said human rights in the People’s Republic of Donetsk, Moscow entity.

His capture, at a dam in the Zaporijia region, had been made public at the end of April. Paul Urey’s mother then indicated that his son was on a humanitarian mission, that he suffered from diabetes and needed insulin.

“Russia must bear full responsibility”

A non-profit organization having its seat in the United Kingdom, Presidium Network, had confirmed, for its part, that Paul Urey and Dylan Healy, another Briton, had been captured by the Russian army in the south of Ukraine, while they were trying to evacuate a woman and two children. Paul Urey is presented by Presidium Network as a father who did not make the army, but spent eight years in Afghanistan as a civilian entrepreneur.

Saying herself “shocked” by the announcement of this death, the British Foreign Minister Liz Truss warned that “Russia [should] carry full responsibility”. The separatist territory of Donetsk condemned two other British and a Moroccan to the death penalty for mercenariat.
