Will it be on Court TV?
You find russian invaders shooting unarmed civilians funny?
I hope Ukraine realizes that it’s a two-way street and some of their best Nazis will soon be facing Russian ‘justice’.
You find russian invaders shooting unarmed civilians funny?

I find funny how many people are getting sucked in to western MSM propaganda. Didn’t you learn anything when Trump was in office? Fake news, fake media? Now, suddenly you drink down all the western fake news and propaganda?
What’s Russia going to do? Prosecute Ukrainian soldiers for killing Russian civilians?
Maybe the Russians will prosecute the women and children they abducted from Mariupol.
Impale that stinking humanoid.
TASS is all the news a good tovarisch needs, da?
“What’s Russia going to do? Prosecute Ukrainian soldiers for killing Russian civilians?”
No shortage of options for Russia. We’ll find out soon enough.
I look forward to the hanging.
The sentence he is facing is life in prison. They don’t have the death penalty. At least, not for his crime.
That’s what the democrats said during the impeachment
They gonna prosecute the Ukrainians that killed 14,000 civilians in the Donbas?
A family of unarmed civilians was killed by a drone strike in Afghanistan to make Biden look tough. He should be in chains at the Hague. And of course no angelic Ukrainian soldier has ever killed an unarmed Russian speaking civilian. No way /s
Ukraine has been killing their own civilians for 8 years. Where’s the trials?
Hopefully this is the beginning of a very long line of Russian war criminals facing justice.
Twice, just to be sure.
Uh, no. Why do you feel the need to put words in people’s mouth?
Then what are you laughing out loud about, if not the subject at hand? Which is war crimes committed by russian invaders in Ukraine.
