Two more Britons captured by Russian forces in Ukraine have been charged with being mercenaries, according to Russian state media.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Dylan Healy, a chef who was volunteering as an aid worker, had been\u00a0captured at a checkpoint in April<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

On the same day, Russia released a video of Andrew Hill in military uniform, saying he had surrendered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It comes after two other British men, Shaun Pinner and Aiden Aslin, were sentenced to death last month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

They faced the same charges as Mr Healy and Mr Hill in the hearing at a Russian proxy court in eastern Ukraine, which is not internationally recognised.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The European Court of Human Rights has since intervened to demand the sentence is not carried out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

But Russia has rejected the call, saying it no longer implements the Strasbourg court’s decisions and the fate of the men was a matter for the pro-Russian, breakaway Donetsk People’s Republic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
