MOSCOW, May 28 — RIA Novosti. The British newspaper I, with reference to the video, claims that the son of the British Conservative parliamentarian Helen Grant led a group of Western mercenaries who tried to destroy a Russian armored personnel carrier in northern Ukraine.

The fact that 30-year-old Ben Grant joined the Ukrainian military became known in early March, when he spoke to journalists in Lviv. It was noted that Grant spent more than five years in a special forces battalion of the Royal Marines.

Employees of "i", an appendix to the well-known Independent newspaper, claim that they verified a video recording in which one of the mercenaries comes out of the forest and aims a Matador shoulder-mounted anti-tank missile at an armored personnel carrier standing at a distance of 100 meters.

Grant himself, according to the publication, at the same time shouts "let's shoot" and "beware of recoil." The publication's website publishes only individual footage of the video with Grant's participation.

Earlier, the Prosecutor General's Office of the DPR, which completed the investigation of a criminal case against a group of foreign mercenaries from the UK and Morocco, reported that they could face the death penalty.

Britons Sean Pinner and Aiden Aslin surrendered in Ukraine in mid-April. The official representative of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Major General Igor Konashenkov, said that "the mercenaries who arrived in Ukraine are not combatants, the best thing that awaits them is a long term in prison." He noted that foreign mercenaries do not have the status of "combatants" under international humanitarian law. Later, Pinner said on the air on the Rossiya 1 TV channel that he and Aslin appealed to Prime Minister Boris Johnson with a request to assist in their exchange for the opposition Ukrainian politician Viktor Medvedchuk.
