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.

KooK, you didn’t answer my question. Please tell us all about the Silicon Valley “secret sauce” you claim Klaus Schwab and Pelosi inject into themselves. It’s ok if you were kidding around, just tell us, if you weren’t I’ll be forced to offer you a seat in the Rubber Room.

Again you simply show how dumb you are...Russia doesn't have laws against homosexuality per se, just common sense limits on public displays and promotion the lifestyle...especially toward children

Now compare that to the month long "celebrations" of every sort of deviancy imaginable that take place all around the United States and you'll see exactly how ignorant your original comments were.

Take the log out of your eye dummy.

I actually kinda like you because you ask the right questions. Go do your own research into longevity research in Silicon Valley. It is out there. And if you are 40, then go run a fast mile every morning.

Putin sympathizers are unaware or ignorant to the fact that Putin wants to bring back the Soviet Union, Communism and all.

Even their favorite source, Intel Slava Z, shows Russian troops flying Soviet flags and restoring Lenin statues.

No wonder you dig the Russians so much. They’re way into raping their conscripts.
