The Supreme Court in Russia convicted in absentia...

I suppose that means he's not actually going to spend time in a Russian penal colony?

In absentia? Well, that’s interesting. So Ashton-Cirillo could now be sitting in a Russian jail in the middle of Siberia. Or he/she could be dancing the night away in San Francisco.

The article is not definite about that. Given the state of modern journalism, that’s not surprising.

Trans American.

Looks like Trans American Airlines picked the right time to sell out and end the name (2001).

“What it is is that Ukraine is a nation that appreciates liberty and freedom for all people, “ she told Voice of America in 2023.”

Tell that to the 10 MILLION Russian speakers that were simply trying to live there as their families have for nearly 250 years (since the Ottomans were driven out).

The headline is misleading. This person is not in Russian custody.

It says “in absentia” in the article.
This is one of the scum that helped get Gonzalo Lira killed by Zelensky’s goons.

Would that be a penile colony?

You’re still lying about the Russian speakers in the Donbas! My wife is one of those but she is very much a Ukrainian and can tell you of the horrors that Moscow rule brings to the Donbas. You have been a Marxist-Leninist stooge since the beginning of the conflict. Liberate Alchevsk!
