First two US fighters are captured by Russian soldiers in battle for Kharkiv amid fears they will be handed death sentences like two British soldiers caught by Putin's army
https://www.dailymail.co.uk ^ | By JENNIFER SMITH, CHIEF REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM PUBLISHED: 11:37 EDT, 15 June 2022 | UPDATED:

Robert Drueke, 39, and Andy Huynh, 27, were captured while fighting for the Ukrainian army last week

The pair were part of a ten-men squad which encountered Russian forces in Kharkiv

They disabled a Russian tank but then were lost in the fog of return fire then disappeared, comrades say

Drueke served in Iraq in the US Army but Huynh, a former Marine, has never been in active combat before

He gave an interview before he ventured to the region in which he said he was prepared to die

Now, there are fears they may be given the same death sentences as Brits Shaun Pinner and Aiden Aslin

The two British men were captured in April and were last week sentenced to death by firing squad

The Biden administration has not yet commented on the capture of the two American servicemen captured

Risk of being a soldier of fortune can be high, pretty sure they don’t fall under Geneva. Best case scenario for them is Russia uses them as a chip to bargain with.

If you’re dumb enough to believe Biden regime and Deep State propaganda and get involved in this war personally, you deserve whatever punishment you get.

Not quite as nice a screen name, but it pairs nicely with mine. The road to hell is paved with mitres.

Many people try to pass themselves off as orthodox. Some people who are orthodox don’t parade it around all the time.

But who am I to judge.

We say grace, and we say Ma’am, and if you ain’t into that, we don’t give a damn.

Are they mercenaries if they sign-up to the Ukrainian armed forces, wear their uniform, and their flag?

Does the Geneva convention only apply to native citizens who join a military?

Calling them mercs seems convenient for Russia but if that was the case there’d be thousands of NCOs in our own Army who could be exempted from the Geneva convention and executed by a foreign power under the same pretext.

My question is are all of these really volunteers or is that just the cover story for Washington to have boots on the ground?
