Russia must bear full responsibility for Briton’s death in Donbas captivity - Foreign Office

British Foreign Office has summoned the Russian ambassador to express concern over reports of the death of Paul Urey, a Briton who had been captured and held in the occupied part of Donbas.

That’s according to Telegraph, Ukrinform reports.

“I am shocked to hear reports of the death of British aid worker Paul Urey while in the custody of a Russian proxy in Ukraine,” said Foreign Minister Liz Truss.

"Russia must bear the full responsibility for this. Paul Urey was captured while undertaking humanitarian work,” the top diplomat added, noting that the man was in Ukraine to “help the Ukrainian people in the face of the unprovoked Russian invasion.”

"The Russian government and its proxies are continuing to commit atrocities. Those responsible will be held accountable. My thoughts are with Mr Urey’s family and friends at this horrendous time,” the head of British diplomacy stated.
