Poor dude, probably another innocent man they just grabbed off the street for a sham trial.

I kind of hope he is actually a pro Russia guy who Ukraine framed. This would be hard to pull off, but if they can get a lot level person along with the powerful target that is a nice bonus

Curious to see how the US media covers this guy relative to Luigi Mangione.

They're saying he did it with explosives given to him by Ukraine, so technically it was theirs.
