The Geneva Convention is drafted so as not to allow these kinds of shenanigans: they are POWs. Even if they weren't, that would make them illegal immigrants subject to domestic law not summary execution.

In the big scheme of what is going on in Ukraine, I find it hard to get particularly worked up over it, but it's still not good. It shouldn't happen, and I hope it's properly investigated and dealt with by the Ukrainians (who, to be fair, have condemned these actions).

These soldiers have either murdered, raped, tortured innocent civilians or they have stood around and gone along with it. You both have a lot more self restraint than me.

I would say I still want them to surrender rather than fight to the death.

Surrender and be treated well, or keep fighting and die in the mud. Those are the choices I want to give my enemy.

"Russians = bad so it's OK to murder them" - said by people in here who are then complaining about the Russians saying "Ukrainians = bad so it's OK to murder them" and yet somehow don't understand that people saying either statement are pyschopaths.

Happily a good portion of the replies to these idiots are putting them straight, which is refreshing to see.

Strange reply coming from someone who has taken the coin of the realm to potentially kill someone because they've been paid and told to do so.

Get off your moral high horse. this is a filthy war where civilians are being raped, tortured and slaughtered and those Ukrainians fighting against it likely have friends and relatives who have suffered in this way. It's so easy to apply your logic and high morals when you are not in the middle of it.

I'm getting sick and tired of listing to all these politicians who spend all their time going from cabinet meetings to conferences to interviews to press briefings, to television announcements to sumits and back to local meetings again just regurgitating the same sound bites over and over with very little action resulting from all the talking.
