Aiden Aslin joined the Ukrainian Marine Corps in 2018 to defend his new homeland from the growing threat of a full-scale Russian invasion. In February 2022, his unit found itself on the front lines in Mariupol, where, after weeks under siege at a steelworks, he and over a thousand Ukrainian soldiers were ordered to surrender by command. That was when the most difficult ordeal began. Because of his British passport, Aiden was singled out and interrogated and tortured: mutilated with a knife and turned into a propaganda zombie. He was put on trial in a mock trial, where he was sentenced to death. Violations of international law, the constant expectation of execution — all this became his new reality, but eventually Aslin was released in a prisoner exchange and returned home.
In his book, “Putin’s Prisoner,” Aiden candidly tells of the war, six months in Russian captivity, and his unwavering determination to fight for Ukraine’s freedom.
