Moscow has been accused of violating international law after two British citizens were threatened with death sentences by pro-Russia rebels in Ukraine.
It comes as Russia has increased troop numbers in eastern Ukraine as it tries to take control of the Donbas region.
UK’s Downing Street condemned the sentence, calling it a “political stunt” and a “direct violation of international law”. “This is just the latest disgusting act by Vladimir Putin’s regime and his affiliates,” UK Conservative MP Robert Jenrick said.
