LONDON - The British Foreign Office summoned Russia's Ambassador in London Andrei Kelin to express his "deep concern" over reports of the death of a British aid worker in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR).
"I am shocked to hear of reports of the death of British aid worker Paul Urey while in the custody of a Russian proxy in Ukraine. Russia must take full responsibility for this," said British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss.
"Those responsible will be held accountable," Truss said.
An official in the self-proclaimed independence House announced the death of Paul Urey the day before.
His death was also confirmed by the British charity, the Presidium Network, which described Urey as a humanitarian worker and denied he had a military background.
Urey, 45, was detained and charged with "mercenary activities" by separatists in the DPR, a breakaway entity recognized only by Russia, Syria and North Korea.
