Vladimir then went a big step further, saying: "I want to tell our commander-in-chief to stop terror acts in Ukraine because when we come back we'll rise against him."
Another reconnaissance officer at the same event echoed the sentiment, addressing Putin directly.
"You won't hide this for long. There are many like us here. Sooner or later, we'll come home."

Doubtfall, all Biden has done is told Russia what we won't be doing rather then lay down any red lines to Russia. I was annoyed with Biden in the first week or so of the war because we barely heard a word from him but when he did speak it was all about telling Russia they could get away with almost behaviour they wanted because he didn't want to risk escalation.

I've seen like 4 of them so far I think and all of them are essentially Stoltenberg saying "we will defend every inch of NATO territory" on all questions. Like what about drone that landed in Croatia? Stoltenberg's response - we will defend every inch of NATO territory.

If I was captured by the enemy I would happily say whatever pleases them most.
Especially if the enemy didn't care for the Geneva convention in regards to treatment of POW's.

James Crawford QC, professor of international law at Cambridge University, said coercing PoWs into appearing on TV would be a grave breach of the convention and a war crime, "but shots of prisoners of war at a distance and not identifiable as individuals are fine". He said the convention's protections had to be balanced against freedom of information.

The advice given to British prisoners of war is to state your name, rank and number for about a day and then say whatever the hell you need to keep yourself save without incriminating yourself.

It depends if they are being coerced or not, it's a bit odd that you underlined the bit about showing POW's on TV but neglected to underline the word coerced. The last line even says that it has to be balanced against freedom of information, suggesting that if these soldiers volunteered to give that information then it isn't a breach.

It was just a slight error on my part and then too lazy to correct it but I will correct it now.
The underline was just for providing a link to the source btw.
