Hard to know if he is innocent or guilty.

What about the Ukrainians massacre of Ukrainian civilians in the Donbas over the last eight years?

[seannolan]

They didn't follow the rules of war in 2014 .

I trust that both sides will be tried for their soldiers alleged war crimes.

[richardpowell]

Aren’t war crimes supposed to be tried by an international tribunal, like Nuremberg? What is The Hague for? Would we have approved if Afghanistan and Iraq put our captured soldiers on trial for war crimes? I’m guessing not; we would have not considered it legitimate.

[seannolan]

Didn't Biden and Obama back the coup in 2014 ?

[gregculverwell]

Killing civilians is against the rules of war?
Then how come the Americans have been deliberately targeting civilians since ww2?
Of course the British began doing it during the Boer wars.
But might is always right.

More than 2000 fighters from the elite Nazi Ukrainian units are going to surrender in Mariupol. 1500 surrendered there before this instance. 16500 Ukrainian fighters were killed only in and around this town. It's a tremendous blow to an already low morale of Ukrainian troops. Probably Russians will get 40 billion of American weapons eventually.
