'This is how I die': British soldier Aiden Aslin in Ukraine reveals the moment he feared he would be killed by his Russian torturer
Emotional reunions for British POWs as they return to Heathrow after being held on death row by Russian forces"In the first week of April, by this point we were preparing to break out and drive back to Ukrainian lines, 140km away," he said. "We got stood down at the very last minute as we were about to break out.
"At that moment that was the hardest decision I’ve had to make in my life. And I chose to do the surrender because at least in that way I won’t be caught by someone who’s caught in the adrenaline and just shoot me on the spot."But captivity was not going to be much better for Mr Aslin, although he stressed that many Ukrainians had it much worse.
"At this point I don’t realise I’ve been stabbed. He points it out to me, and the moment I saw the stab wound that's when I realise... I most likely am about to die. I can remember thinking to myself ‘this is how I die’. Truly, some of the most barbaric stuff I witnessed." "I'd removed the tape and was trying to process where I was. I'm looking at a group of Saudis and one of the lads says, 'Is that Roman Abramovich?'" he told the Sun last year.Mr Aslin added: "We sat down and Shaun sat next to me. Abramovich was watching everyone. He was a bit shy and didn't want to hassle us. It was amazing.
