A s much as it would be just to execute him it would be wrong. That just creates a Martyr the Russian Govt will hold up and prevent more Russian surrenders. What you want is for the Russians to look for a chance to surrender in droves..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I don't believe execution is even on the table in this trial. While allowed under international law for the crimes he is charged with committing, Ukraine is only seeking life imprisonment. (As far as I know.)
