…group "Russia's top court has designated the Azov Regiment, a former volunteer battalion with far-right roots that was officially integrated into Ukraine's army, a "terrorist" organisation. The ruling by the Supreme Court on Tuesday allows for lengthy prison terms for the members of Azov, who are accused of harbouring neo-Nazi and white supremacist ideology…" Main page link Armand

Absolute nonsense.

So when does that court give their ruling on Russia being a terrorists organization? 😉 I mean if they can identify one, they surely can identify another. Maybe they will defer that decision to the Ukrainian Supreme Court.

Plus 100, 35th OVI. It's probably just a symbolic gesture, though, since Russia cold-bloodily murders their prisoners anyway.

Wagner mercenaries in Russian service are known to have NAZI tattoos.

So since Russia never declared war Ukraine can Ukraine treat all Russian prisoners as terrorists? Therefor not giving Russian prisoners the benefit of the Geneva convention?

It's always a morale booster to hear that the other side isn't giving you the benefit of the Geneva Convention.

I doubt any of the AZOV guys will make it back to Ukraine much like Waffen SS units captured by the Soviets in WW2 (No I am not a Waffen SS apologist so calm down and take your meds before you launch into a self righteous tirade / tantrum.) No I am not comparing the two, I am just stating when the Russians hate you never get to go home.

Russia is a terroristic country, much like Iran, but far better armed and willing to use direct force against other countries, so……….

If Russia/Putin said it … it has to be suspect … a lot !
