The mother of a recently-freed British prisoner of war said that Putin's goons would send her videos of her son being tortured - but she bravely told them to 'f*** off' every time.
Angela Wood, 51, was repeatedly contacted by the monsters who held her son, British fighter Aiden Aslin, 28, during the five months they imprisoned him after he was captured in Mariupol.
But she was not intimidated by their threats and demands and told them where to go when they shamefully sent her images and videos of her son suffering.
The horrifying clips showed Aslin bound on the floor, surrounding by screaming Russians in a cesspit jail in Russian-held Donetsk, Ukraine.
Mum-of-three Angela was pressured by the Russians over social media to convince Boris Johnson to secure the release of Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk, 58, long thought to be Putin's man in Ukraine.
She told The Sun: 'They knew how vulnerable the families were, how anxious we felt, and they tried to turn the screw in a bid to take us to breaking point.
'They knew we were suffering and they tried to exploit it for their own gains.
'It was extremely hard to deal with — but we refused to play their games. As a mum, you'll do everything to stop your children being harmed.
'You don't want to see your son tied and bound. I could hear Russians in the background demanding things.
But I refused to be cowed so I fought back. I told them to f**k off every time.'
Aslin was reunited with his family on Thursday after being released by Russia in an elaborate prisoner swap involving hundreds of individuals.
In June he had been sentenced to the death penalty before a court in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic alongside four other Britons - John Harding, 59, Dylan Healy, 22, Andrew Hill, 35, and Shaun Pinner, 48.
The Russians tried similar tactics with the family of Pinner, who was captured along with Aslin in April as they laid siege to the port city of Mariupol.
On Wednesday Aslin released a video confirming they were 'out of the danger zone' as the pair were flown to Saudi Arabia on a Saudi diplomatic jet.
Angela praised the support she received from the parents of Aslin's fellow PoWs the Foreign Office, MPs and the Ukrainian ambassador in getting through her five-month ordeal.
She said they collectively provided her with the strength to stand up to Putin's goons and resist their pressure.Aslin spent his first day of freedom back on British soil with his family in Newark, Nottinghamshire in an emotional reunion.
