The key element missing from the story is why he was returned to Russia. Ukraine allows you to opt out of prisoner swaps for whatever reason, so it kinda sounds like he wanted to go back.
Could you cite a legal document to that end? Per the cited court decision, he was an illegal immigrant awaiting deportation.
You’re right, that case is different because he crossed into Ukraine by himself. I missed that bit in the article. The law only applies to POWs.
So fucking stupid. I guess you have to go with the intent to kill Ukranians, and then change your mind to be protected.
Actual supporters not wanted.
Prisoners of war get treated like prisoners of war.
Well, by Ukraine, anyway.
Yes, but that’s irrelevant here. This guy was not a POW.
Exactly. So he doesn’t get treated like one either
Why should he get?
