> He said in the video that he had travelled to Ukraine to join the International Legion which paid him $400-500 a month
Wow I thought it would be a lot more than that, that’s no way near enough to risk dying in a ditch whilst hiding from drones in a foreign war.
I doubt he will survive that sentence. Even if he isn’t tortured to death.
Jailed by a kangaroo court. Wonder when Ukraine might start jailing Russians..
UK should respond by sending a fresh batch of Storm Shadows to Ukraine.
$500 a month is plenty if you can’t spend it out in the field
It just increases the chance of a Russian being jailed.
My brother was “killed” by firing squad 4 times when the Russians held him captive, then traded him back at the first opportunity.
I hope this guy gets to come home soon as well, but with how barbaric the Russians are, I can’t imagine hell be untouched.

Sadly he’s a terrorist or insurgent in a Russian court of law.dont play toy soldier. War is not a game.
I mean if you’re foreign and you join a war and get captured then going to jail seems reasonable.
We should start bombing Russia then
Until the give him back
Hero. Was reading this and Elgar’s Nimrod came on. Hope he doesn’t suffer too much. Few people get to truly do something genuinely noble in this world. He’s someone who has done that, whatever happens next.
It’s probably tit for tat justice by the Russians. The UK is their favourite hate totem. And the legal eagles in London have been after a few of theirs for the odd murder. It’s tougher for him than it would be for a Russian held by UK, unfortunately.
Serves him right really. Play silly games, win stupid prizes.
