Shaun Pinner: Briton who was captured by Russian forces in Ukraine says he was beaten and electrocuted
A British man who was captured by Russian forces in Ukraine has described how he was tortured and left unable to walk while he was detained.
Shaun Pinner, from Bedfordshire, is a former British Army soldier who joined the Ukrainian military four years before the war began.
He was detained in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic after the siege of Mariupol and later freed in a prisoner swap.
Mr Pinner told Sky News how he was stabbed and electrocuted during his ordeal.
"I was just bleeding everywhere... I was screaming," he said.
