Ukraine War: Ex-British soldier was left unable to walk after Russian 'torture'

A former British soldier who went to fight in Ukraine has claimed he was tortured so badly by Russian forces he was left unable to walk.

Shaun Pinner told Sky's Beth Rigby he was electrocuted and stabbed in the leg after he was caught while fighting in Mariupol.

Mr Pinner was among five Britons released from Russian detention in Ukraine in a prisoner swap last September.
