Police investigate pro-Putin Brit who taunted Ukraine PoWs in videos following their capture

POLICE are investigating a pro-Putin Brit who taunted Ukraine PoWs Aiden Aslin and Shaun Pinner in videos following their capture.

The Met’s War Crimes Team are probing YouTube propagandist Graham Phillips, who interrogated Aiden and accused him of being a mercenary.

Phillips, 43, originally from Nottingham, uploaded his 44-minute verbal assault of handcuffed Aiden, 28, who was injured and distressed in jail in Donetsk, eastern Ukraine.

MPs said he breached the Geneva Convention which bars filming designed to “humiliate” PoWs.

Aiden, who faced death as a “terrorist” mercenary despite serving in Ukraine’s army, said: “He spoke to me like my fate had been sealed.

“It was like he knew I was going to be executed. He was complicit in my torture.

"He’s a war criminal, scum. I want him prosecuted.”

Aiden’s mum, Angela Wood, 51, said: “One day he’ll be in the dock. I’ll be watching. We’ll get justice.”

Aiden — back home in Newark, Notts, after a prisoner swap — confirmed cops had quizzed him about the role of ex-civil servant Phillips, who moved to Ukraine to live.

The Met Police said: “We continue to engage with the Ukrainian community in the UK to identify potential witnesses and victims.”
