Death sentences ordered by a Russian proxy court for two Britons in Ukraine lead Friday's papers.
The death sentence given to two British men, who were captured while fighting for Ukraine, by a Russian proxy court in eastern Ukraine dominates the front pages. The Telegraph notes the UK has criticised the verdict with Foreign Secretary Liz Truss condemning the "sham judgment" after what the paper calls a "three-day show trial held behind closed doors".
The Times leads on train drivers voting to strike after members from Aslef, representing drivers, decided to follow the lead of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union who earlier announced strikes in June. Another union, representing non-driving staff, warned of a "summer of discontent" and raised the prospect of coordinated action.The Daily Express leads with the headline "millions given chance to buy own home".
