Interesting in that there appears to be hundreds of foreigners fighting on both sides.
Guess it will be a so-called death.

Bump to the top with no comment.
The $2000 per day that at least some mercenaries are getting doesn’t seem so great now. I wonder if their contract has a death benefit.
Even a retard can tell you that the victor establishes the courts. And decides who will be prosecuted. And what the charges will be. And all associated protocols.
They can even make up law where none exists.
I cite Nuremberg as an example.
Fine. Now Ukraine will be free to execute the captured Wagner Group and Chechen mercenaries by the same standard.

Guess Sean Penn won’t be going anywhere.
“If you’ve been in Ukraine [fighting] has to cross your mind,” Penn said
Foreign mercenaries volunteering for Ukraine will now be motivated to fight to the death to avoid capture or, much more likely, avoid combat.
No one has clean hands.
“...charged with being mercenaries...”
LOL...Putin has a private army (Wagner) fighting for him. Maybe the Ukes should sentence the Wagner prisoners to death in retaliation?
They’re making a mistake. If you want people to surrender, you take them in, put them in almost hotel-like accommodations and feed them well. Then let them call home, their comrades, etc. That way the word gets back to the front and instead of fighting to the death because death is what will happen anyway, soldiers will be inclined to surrender. Think about it. You’re on the front line, surrounded. What happens if you surrender? Death? Okay then, I’ll just take as many Russians with me as I can.

During WW1 the German Imperial Army announced that any soldier captured with a shotgun would be executed. They considered the American Trench Gun (a modified shotgun) to be a barbaric weapon. The US Commander, Gen. Pershing, simply stated that he would begin executing German POW’s if the Imperial Army followed through on it’s threat. Therefore, the proper response by Ukraine is to threaten to execute any Syrian, Chechen or Wagner Group soldier that they hold.
Shades of Angola.
