In the West, they began to comment on the death sentence imposed on three foreign mercenaries by the Supreme Court of the DPR. As reported by “Military Review”, the death sentence was passed against the British Aiden Aslin, Sean Pinner, as well as against the Moroccan Saadoun Brahim. They were called guilty under several articles of the Criminal Code of the Donetsk People’s Republic, including articles on preparation for terrorist activities and mercenarism.
The verdict is commented by the US State Department. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that “the United States is seriously concerned about the death penalty for foreign nationals.” According to Blinken, “the lawsuit is regarded as a sham.” An interesting logic: the war crimes of mercenaries from Britain and Morocco, their participation in hostilities were not fictitious, but the court, you see, is considered fictitious in the United States. But what does the DNR care about the opinion of Blinken and the state he represents…
Blinken:
We call on Russia and its satellites to respect international humanitarian law, to provide protection to prisoners of war, which are citizens of Morocco and Britain, as they served in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Almost completely repeated the words of her American colleague and British Foreign Minister Liz Truss. According to her, London regards the trial and sentence as “fictitious”. I wonder if this means that London will also consider the death penalty as such to be “fictitious” as a result?
