    the article literally says he’s a mercenary, try putting more effort into your trolling in the future

    Oscar Jenkins, 33, was convicted in a Russian-controlled court in occupied eastern Ukraine on Friday of fighting in an armed conflict as a mercenary.

      It says he was convicted in a Russian-controlled court which is not at all the same thing. International law is clear on this and Russia is clearly breeching it.

      Try putting some more effort into your trolling, I quoted the actual appropriate law.

        If you bothered reading the points in the law you linked, then you’d quickly see that he very much falls under the category of a mercenary. The fact that a bunch of marauders got together and call themselves an “international legion” doesn’t change the nature of what’s happening. Keep on digging though, it’s adorable.

          The international legion is a official unit of the armed forces of Ukraine, set up by the Ukrainian MOD. Try again.

            I mean Azov nazis are also an official unit of the armed forces of Ukraine, so sure any fascist can officially fight for Ukraine.
