So-called DPR sentenced three foreign fighters defending Ukraine to death

Terrorists of the temporarily occupied territories of the Donetsk region imposed a death "sentence" on three foreign fighters defending Ukraine.

It was reported by the pro-Kremlin russian media outlet RIA Novosti.

The so-called "Supreme Court of the DPR" imposed the first sentence on foreign soldiers who fought on the side of Ukraine, whom they refer to as "mercenaries." These are the British Aiden Aslin, Sean Pinner, and the Moroccan Saadun Brahim.

They are sentenced to death by terrorists. The occupiers gave foreign defenders of Ukraine a month to appeal the "decision" of the so-called court. The fighters were found guilty of "committing acts aimed at seizing power and overthrowing the constitutional order of the DPR."

Dmitry Medvedev, the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the russian federation, said that the Geneva Conventions do not apply to foreigners who protect Ukraine from russian invaders. According to him, they should be "de-Nazified first."

The Ukrainian General Staff reported that all foreign fighters defending Ukraine are combatants (Ukrainian Armed Forces members directly involved in battles – ed.) and have the appropriate rights. It means that they are protected by the Geneva Conventions.
