    1. Sadly he may wind up like the British Mercenaries who are going to be executed and dumped into unmarked holes in the ground by DPR/LPR. They have committed crimes against Russia and it’s citizens and will have to be held accountable. They could get hard labor sentences in Siberia, possibly death.

    2. @Yakiv Popavich Well, considering all of the soldiers you are mentioning took an oath and signed a contract with Ukraine and were inducted into the UDF, if this is done then that violates the Geneva Convention. They are prisoners of war, not criminals. The only criminals here are the Russian forces.

      Oh, and the DRP/LRP are not countries or republics with ZERO credibility and have no UN Representation. Nobody besides Russia recognizes them. That is Ukrainian territory.

      Also, be careful Yakiv. If Russia starts executing prisoners of war, then Ukraine may start doing the same to Russian POWs. If you want to get nasty, so can we.

    3. @don s The Geneva Convention ? Tell this to the murdered Russian soldiers who were killed by the Ukrainian military in March , whose throats were cut and their legs were shot until they died . That cnn didn ‘t show it ? They came to fight in a foreign country now they will get what they deserve . There are 8-9 thousand Ukrainian soldiers in Russian captivity , and 500-700 in Ukrainian captivity . Do you think Ukraine will go for it ?

    4. @don s you must be signatory to Geneva Convention, DPR is not. And as far as Ukraine start killing Russia PoWs, Russia has 10x more Ukrainian POWs, which means Russia can always swap them.

      Problem is that Anglos dont have Russian POWs.

  14. I heard some ruSSians saying they enjoy the mysterious explosions and fires in ruSSia and they would like more of those.

  17. Whether LPR and DPR are acknowledge as legitimate they have been the elected governments in Donbas for 8 years. If they are willing to release Americans that never were combatants and were captured their first day in the field negotiating, releases should not be a problem and done soon.
