A former British soldier jailed in Russia says he feels abandoned by occupied Ukraine.

In a letter to the BBC from prison, Davies said he had been captured by Russian forces after suffering severe facial injuries. “My radio was broken, my partner was killed and I couldn’t escape,” he wrote, “I had to make a decision: lie there and die or take action. I crawled 150 meters (500 feet) to reach a familiar area. It took me a whole day.”
