Russia can’t guarantee that the former Americans servicemen that were captured in Ukraine won’t face the death penalty, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in an interview with NBC television that was aired on Monday.
"I cannot guarantee anything. It depends on the investigation," he said when asked if he could guarantee that the US prisoners of war won’t face the same fate as Britons Aiden Aslin and Shaun Pinner and Moroccan national Brahim Saadoun who were earlier sentenced to death by a court in the Donetsk People’s Republic.
The Daily Telegraph last week reported that two former US servicemen Alexander Drueke and Andy Huynh were captured near Kharkov. The US State Department said on June 16 it was ready to engage with Russia regarding the US nationals that took part in the hostilities in Ukraine. It also again strongly advised Americans against going to Ukraine.
Don't threaten me with a good time, you niggers never make good on your promises.

Russia recognizes them as the DPR an independent country, the ukraine refutes there independence, so Technically depending how you look at it, its Ukraine killing Americans. as the Americans dont recognize the DPR either.
Ayden Reed
They should face the death penalty. Mercs are just terrorists, you know.
Jayden Reed
Pls hang the zogbots
Isaac Davis
Redditors get a pass though right?
Luke Gray
yeah, they skip the trial

Geneva Conventions don't apply for mercenaries, simple as
if they're smart they'll offer to trade the important ones for some form of compensation at the very least, supposedly there were rumours of western VIPs at Azovstal, if that's true you wouldn't want people like that defecting or being tortured for information
Blake Rogers
They're going to offer a trade of the Brits and Americans for Julian Assange then shit gets interesting
Blake Adams
I REALLY HOPE that the two British and the Mooroocan mercenaries kept in Donetsk will get executed as an example and a deterrent, so other mercenaries fighting for Ukrin will pack up and leave.
and? hanging them without due process is just going to cause more sanctions and retaliatory behavior against wagner group members. It's such a stupid idea that shows how worthless russian lives are

>Fucked around >Found out Not fucking sad at all. You fucked around in a warzone to try and kill Russians. DIdn't do a very good job.
No sympathy. Lie in your bed.
Luke Harris
>It was ready to engage with Russia regarding US national that took part in the hostilities in Ukraine. Yes americans are welcome to provide good quality ropes needed to hang these fatass mutts.
Asher Morgan
Wouldn’t be very concerned then. Knowing Ivan, they skimmed half the rope off the top before delivery, so it’ll just snap from the burger’s weight.
Benjamin Cox
What? They’ve had full due process, they will be legally executed. Wagner members are fighting in Russian uniform as Russian citizens, they are subject to Geneva. Random soldiers of fortune are not. Russia is treating actual military and Ukrainian paramilitary members in accordance with international law, the number of people its going to execute like this is likely to be negligible.
Meanwhile Hohols just disregard international law at will and behave like savages.
Oliver Barnes
Imagine thinking that being a good government slave makes you better than Russians. Russians are the most based and anti-tyrannical people on earth, they shit on authority, they steal from the government, they bribe officials, they lie to the state, etc. I’d love to know what that’s worse than being an obedient little nerdic who gets fucked up the ass by the government and thanks them afterwards.

Not torture, it's enhanced interrogation. Precedent is set by muttland.
Grayson Taylor
Glowing kikery like 9/11, Pearl Harbor, or Maine. US fabricates a war justification but reddit tourists here can't see it.
yup, life isn't valued as much by us slavs. We know you value it much more. So since we don't value it anywhere as close as you do, nuclear exchange benefits us more, we lose less and we know you'll cry and whine over deaths more and panic and piss your pants before death. I'm not even russian and we're in nato and I hope they nuke us all, just so that I can laugh at you fucks getting killed before I get whiped by one. Because I know you'll all be terrified and in panic.
Elijah Russell
Not surprised. Most likely mercenaries, and thus just scum.
