'I was screaming': British prisoner of war in Ukraine reveals Russian torture methods A British national captured by Russian forces while fighting alongside Ukrainian troops has recalled how he was tortured and left unable to walk during his ordeal.

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

Appearing on this week's Beth Rigby Interviews, the former soldier also called for Ukraine to receive fighter jets as part of "continued support" to stop Vladimir Putin's invasion.

And he warned the Russian president: "One day, you'll be found out."

Mr Pinner, from Bedfordshire, says he was serving with regular military units in Mariupol before he was detained in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic in eastern Ukraine.

Recalling how his captives gave him electric shocks, he told Rigby: "You feel like your muscles are popping out of you, your body.

"And the next day, my legs inflated very badly. The blood was kind of capillaries were leaking blood from my legs.

"When I took my thermal off I was just bleeding from my leg from the electric shock, and my legs had inflated so I couldn't walk."

The prisoner of war told how one man cut off his clothing to see if he had any right-wing tattoos, before stabbing him in the leg.

"He just went 'Oh' and I was just bleeding everywhere, all over my legs."I was screaming ... and then I had 200 volts go through me on the chair, control my leg, and I was literally standing up and he electrocuted me in there.
