The UK has to urgently decide whether to formally recognize the Donetsk People's Republic in an attempt to save its two men’s lives who were just sentenced to death for trying to overthrow its government as mercenaries or leave them to die, though their demise could always be spun for anti-Russian information warfare purposes if it ultimately ends up happening.
I wonder what the UK would do if it was the other way around and it was they who captured two foreign national mercenaries on UK soil fighting to topple the UK elected government?

One of those prisoners is a dual UK/Ukraine citizen. Surely he cannot be considered a mercenary?
