Russia Moves to Put Captured Azov Battalion Fighters on Trial

Top Russian officials have indicated that at least some of the Ukrainian servicemen belonging to the captured Azovstal garrison could eventually face trial in Russia.

The Office of the Prosecutor-General, a body responsible for overseeing prosecution in Russian courts, has asked the Russian Supreme Court to designate the ultranationalist Azov Battalion as a terrorist organization, potentially paving the way for the prosecution of the Azov members who surrendered to Russian forces earlier this week at the Azovstal factory in the southeastern port hub of Mariupol.

...

Russian politicians and political commentators have sharply distinguished between standard Ukrainian military personnel, who may be eligible for a potential prisoner swap deal, and Azov Battalion members. The latter have been repeatedly accused by top Kremlin officials, both during and prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, of crimes against humanity. “It was these Azov battalion Nazis who had been exterminating the civilian population in the Donetsk and Lugansk republics, deliberately and with exceptional cruelty, for eight years,” said Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov.

Hey old man, it's Zelenskyy who has all those Azov Nazis fighting for "democracy", not Russia.

That’s right; the Russian Nazis are fighting for Nazism, not “democracy.”

Video shows Ukrainian forces shooting dead a wounded Russian soldier (New York Post)

This is a war crime.

Your Own Words, L, Yes it is a War Crime, a Uke War Crime.

However, recording War Criminal Executions is NOT a War Crime.

See, the Young Putineers are fixated on male homosexuals. It’s a Ruski thing I guess, like all the male rape in Putin’s glorious army.
