…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

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 ! |
