Defeated, beaten and bruised, with a swollen eye and a nasty gash across his forehead, Aiden 'Johnny' Aslin's worst fears that he would become a pawn in Putin's deranged 'bulls**t' propaganda if he was captured by the Russians tragically came true this week. The British former care worker was paraded on Kremlin-backed TV from an undisclosed location after surrendering when he ran out of ammunition in Mariupol, the besieged southern port city which for many has become the lasting image of Moscow's invasion.Aslin, who appeared to have been tortured, was described as a 'mercenary' who had 'fought on the side of the Nazis in Ukraine' by Rossiya 1 TV news presenter Andrey Rudenko, as he was asked a series of questions about his motives for taking up arms.
