This trial process has begun on 15 August, Russian media have said.
According to Russian news agency T The ASS, “Judge” of the case, has said the charges against three men, Swedes, Matias Gustavsson, the Croatian, Vjekoslav Prebeg, and the British, John Harding, could be punishable by death.
The leaders of what the separatists call the Donjeck People's Republic have accused the Gustavsson men, Prebeg, Harding and the British, Andrew last week. Hill and Dylan Healy have joined the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
According to them, all five men may be accused of being mercenaries, of preparing terrorist activities and activities to gain control.
Last month, the British Foreign Ministry has condemned “exploitation of” of prisoners of war and civilians for political purposes, following the capture of Healyt and Hill.
The other Briton, Paul Wry, who has been engaged with Healy and Hill, has died while holding the separatists.
At the beginning of June, two other Britons -- Aiden Aslin and Shawn Pinner -- and how maroken Saaudun Brahim -- are sentenced to death by separatists.
The three are said to have served the Ukrainian Army when they are occupied by pro-Russia separatists while fighting Russian forces.
Britain, the United Nations, Ukraine, and Germany have condemned punishments to death until the European Court of Human Rights has warned Moscow to ensure that death sentences are not carried out.
The British government insists that as legitimate members of Ukrainian forces, they should be treated as prisoners of war, as the Geneva Convention predicts.
The Ukrainian government has established recruiting channels and Westerners are headed towards Ukraine to protect this state after Russia's war begins.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the invasion of Ukraine on 24 February.
He calls the war <x0 special military operation” to demilitarise Ukraine.
