Relatives of a British soldier captured in Mariupol ask to be treated humanely
“He called me and said they didn’t have any weapons left to fight,” Aiden’s mother, Emma Vardy, told reporters.
The Briton warned his followers on social networks about the impending surrender: “48 days have passed, we tried our best to defend Mariupol, but we have no other choice but to surrender to Russian forces. We don't have food or ammunition."
Now Aiden's relatives are appealing to the Russian authorities through British tabloids to have pity on their boy, mindful of Russian President Vladimir Putin's warning that the POW Convention does not apply to foreign mercenaries in the Donbass.
