The 36-year-old, who served in the Fusiliers and did tours of Afghanistan before he met Ms Lathbury, had travelled to Ukraine as it was "something he felt strongly about and wanted to share the skills he had". Mr Thorn, also known as Jay, had been doing humanitarian work on the Ukraine-Poland border by helping refugees, as well as training locals on military equipment sent over from the UK. She said her partner died "instantly" in the crash, which was confirmed by a colleague in Ukraine and the Foreign Office. Originally from Berkshire, Ms Lathbury explained how Mr Thorn's mother and grandfather were also desperate to bring him back to the UK, saying it would mean "everything to bring him back whole". Louise Lathbury has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for repatriating Julian Thorn's body from the war-torn nation, in hopes of raising £15,000. The fiancee of a former British soldier who was killed in a car crash in Ukraine has revealed how she had made a wedding ring on the day she found out about his death. The post added: "Mavka has become part of a new scheme of shadow distribution in Russia." "This is illegal, because it, like any other cinema in Russia, has no permission to show either Hollywood blockbusters or Ukrainian films." "A Russian cinema illegally posted on its website the announcement of the premiere of the Universal Pictures 'The Super Mario Bros Movie' and indicated that it would be shown before Mavka screenings. "Russia is stealing cartoons," the movie's creators write. Mavka is a story based on famous Ukrainian poet Lesia Ukrainka's work The Forest Song, and the film was created by Ukraine's Animigrad Studios. The movie's creators have highlighted that the Russian screening includes not only their Ukrainian hit, which currently stands as the top-grossing Ukrainian film ever, but also the widely popular The Super Mario Bros Movie from Hollywood. Russia has organised a screening of the Ukrainian animated picture Mavka: The Forest Song, despite lacking distribution rights, according to the movie's official Facebook page. Ukraine has thus far managed to bring back 371 illegally deported children, and the process is ongoing. On 27 April, PACE adopted a resolution recognising Lukashenko as potentially complicit in Russia's forced deportation of Ukrainian children during the ongoing conflict.Īccording to a Ukrainian national database, since the start of the invasion, over 19,000 children have been abducted by Russia, while thousands remain unaccounted for. The Belarusian dictator, Alexander Lukashenko, is accused of personally facilitating the forced relocation, which would implicate him in war crimes. Ukraine's Prosecutor General's Office is currently investigating Belarus' potential role in the illegal transfer of Ukrainian children from Russian-occupied territories, according to Reuters news agency.Ī report from exiled Belarusian opposition members alleges that 2,150 Ukrainian children, including orphans aged between six and 15, were taken to recreation camps and sanatoriums in Belarus against their will. In a news briefing, Mr Lubinets stated that the Belarusian authorities were directly involved in forcing the movement of these civilians, according to Ukrainian news agency Ukrinform. Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets has reportedly confirmed that Ukrainian prisoners of war and abducted children were transferred through Belarus.
