A second British volunteer fighter, Shaun Pinner, has been captured by Russian forces after fighting in Mariupol, Ukraine.

Ex-British Army soldier Shaun Pinner, who served with the Royal Anglians and later enlisted with the Marines in Ukraine, has been heavily involved in fighting against the Russian Armed Forces.Today, a propaganda video circulated by the Russian media shows the exhausted and bruised 48-year-old explaining who he is and what he was doing in Ukraine.Within the video he says: "Hi, I'm Shaun Pinner. I am a citizen of the UK. I was captured in Mariupol.

I am part of the 36th Brigade First Battalion Ukrainian Marines."I was fighting in Mariupol for five to six weeks and now I'm in Donetsk People's Republic."The clip was posted on Twitter with the caption: "Another mercenary was caught in Mariupol."Shaun Pinner is an English mercenary.

He says that he no longer needs the war and he wants to go home. he won't make it home."Captured Ukrainian soldiers testify about the atrocities of foreign mercenaries. And after the trial, they face the death penalty."It is unclear when the footage was filmed or what exactly led to Pinner's capture. Pinner was reportedly fighting alongside his friend Aiden Aslin, from Nottinghamshire, who surrendered to Russian Forces last week after his battalion ran out of ammunition. Last month, Russian media claimed that Pinner had been killed, however, sources have argued that this was not the case and that he was in fact in a field hospital.Chris Garrett, who fought alongside Pinner in the Donbas in 2014, has said that: "He was wounded by shrapnel from a tank round in Mariupol and is in a military hospital."I'm told right now he's not dead and I trust the people who have told me.

They're also British."I hope their information is right. It's entirely possible that the photocopy of his passport that the Russians were hawking around were looted from another place and used for Propaganda."Another of Pinner's friends has also expressed concern for his safety.Jayson Pihajlic, who fought against the Islamic State alongside Pinner and Aslin in the Syrian Democratic Forces, told the Guardian that: "I was holding out after Aiden was captured that maybe no news was good news for Shaun. He was in a different unit than Aiden but they were both in Mariupol."It's horrible to see. They're obviously being beaten up and that's the least we can say - who knows what else is going on. They're being labelled as mercenaries, but these guys are not mercenaries - they are proper, uniformed, Ukrainian soldiers."
