A video appeared on Russian Telegram channels where a Ukrainian Defender of Mariupol Oleksandr Maksymchuk shares that he has spent two and a half years in Russian captivity and was tortured there.
Oleksandr and his brothers-in-arms were sentenced by Russian courts to 20 years in prison for defending their land from Russian aggression.
Thousands of Ukrainians remain in Russian captivity and go through hell there.
I thought you’re not supposed to be able to be convicted for engaging in an officially-declared war? Then again, this is a “special operation” or some such and the USA hasn’t officially declared war on another nation for multiple obvious wars, so…
I’m surprised they even have court for these guys. I would figure they would torture them and dump them in a hole somewhere. They already seem to do that to their own people, so like…why are they bothering with all this showmanship here? Just to attempt to look “normal”?
