The names of the condemned are:
Aiden Aslin and Shaun Pinner (Britain) and Brahim Saadoun (Moroccan)

By my research, it seems like the British men were a part of regular Ukrainian forces. There isn't as much information about Brahim Saadoun, but some news agencies have said that he is a student.

At least one man, Pinner, has a Ukrainian spouse.
