They should try him in his uniform, would send a great message to the Russian troops

He is a child! Same as my son. Adults put him in this situation. Its do or die abuse at the very least. No human being should ever have to live like this. This is insanity. We tell our young to talk not use hands. Yet the adults come with weapons of mass destruction. Im so disgusted with humanity.

Death penalty for any Russian soldier captured who raped and murdered women, children and elderly! Hope more are arrested and tried in the courts!

It is sad to me that I am living in a Time in the history of humanity where something like this is still going on.

[wowwoahwee]

He’s not remorseful, he’s just upset he got caught.

[EdwardPlantagenet]

Sham trials.
Just like they did against Germany.
Nice propaganda.

Now you have to pay for what your Russia and you have done to Ukraine.
