Hold up there, this is shit that we should know about.
If the side we are supporting is going to allow the killing of surrendered soldiers, then maybe we need to not be supporting them anymore.
We will have to see how the Ukrainians handle this, but if people aren’t imprisoned for it, then why continue to support them?
I say this as someone who fully supports Ukraine and my comment history is my proof
This is one incident that we don't have all the information about. You really going to sell out an entire country over one incident that isn't immediately rectified during wartime where they have far more to worry about than prosecuting every crime immediately or else?
It sounds to me like the German Medic witness was working on someone else and caught the event out of the corner of their eye while busy. Otherwise, why weren't they working on the prisoner (and hence in the way). So, the witness didn't know the severity of the wounds, in an area that was low on med supplies (looking for bandages, with a medic in LOS?) and just assumed it was a hate motivated execution when it could just as well have been a mercy.
Edit: and this supposedly happened almost a year ago? How is this even news?
Hence me saying we have to see how they handle this, I will give you I should have said how they handle this if true.
But yeah, if they knew about it and didn’t handle it, then depending on how far up it went, we shouldn’t support them.
I’m not cool with supporting people who kill pow’s
Oh, ok. I forgot that since Russia did band things that now we don’t care about anyone else doing them
I never said abandon them over one instance.
I straight up said to see how Ukraine responds to the charges.
If they handle it correctly than keep on having their backs until Putin is sucking Stalin a dick in hell.
If instead they try to hide and obfuscate it, then maybe we should start looking at what else they are hiding.
If we don’t hold our allies accountable…
Well fuck I guess that actually falls apart since we aren’t holding Israel accountable either.
