John Harding revealed that Roman Abramovich had played a 'key part' in their release
Five Brits who were captured by Russian-backed forces have been released and said they were welcomed onto a plane by ex-Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich.
"It’s quite extraordinary to think he was involved — and I wouldn’t have even been able to tell you who he was by looking at him. He’s well respected by Ukrainians and massively by us now, too — he’s done a hell of a lot for us and we couldn’t thank him enough. In a statement released by the Foreign Office, Mr Pinner’s family said: “We would like to thank everybody involved in Shaun’s release, especially all at the Foreign Office, Liz Truss and her team, Boris Johnson and President Zelensky.
“It was very important for us to get those guys out of captivity because I’ve been in captivity myself and I know what it is.” Mr Harding was singled out for his contribution to the legion, where he trained young volunteers as an instructor.
