MOSCOW, March 3. /TASS/. None of the mercenaries the West is sending to Ukraine to fight for the nationalist regime will enjoy the right of combatants under international humanitarian law, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said.
"I wish to make an official statement that none of the mercenaries the West is sending to Ukraine to fight for the nationalist regime in Kiev can be considered as combatants in accordance with international humanitarian law or enjoy the status of prisoners of war," Konashenkov stressed.
He stated that all acts of sabotage by mercenaries in Ukraine were being carried out with the use of weapons provided by the West. Konashenkov said that foreign mercenaries were attacking Russian military and supply convoys and the aircraft providing support.
"In the videos being spread by Ukrainian secret services for propaganda purposes as footage allegedly filmed by local civilians they prefer not to get in front of the cameras," Konashenkov said.
He warned that all foreign mercenaries, detained in Ukraine, would be brought to justice on criminal charges.
"At best, they can expect to be prosecuted as criminals. We are urging all foreign citizens who may have plans to go and fight for Kiev’s nationalist regime to think a dozen times before getting on the way," Konashenkov said.


Commentary:
Now this is interesting and it IS real!
Hmm...., “weapons provided by the West”
As in the Stinger missiles keeping the Russian Air Force at bay, or the Javelin ATM's that are taking out their tanks.
The Russians have essentially announced that all foreign volunteers (mercenaries) captured will be summarily executed. That’s pretty customary going back to before the Garden of Eden.
That is an exception in the U.S. of course. Not one terrorist apprehended in America has been executed to this day.
None of the mercenaries the West is sending to Ukraine to fight for the nationalist regime will enjoy the right of combatants under international humanitarian law, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said......
You got to wonder if Russian draftees have the stomach for the increased casualties. The last time they got riled up, the Tsar abdicated, and his family was butchered to the last child. Maybe Putin’s Praetorian Guard is loyal enough to risk their lives for him. But maybe not.
I think it’s a tradition. while being a combatant for the opposite side is a trip to your last cigarette. I’m sure it’s been this way forever in war. Mercs’ Gonna merc and die if they’re caught. It’s why they get the big bucks. They also take a big toll on their enemies.

War crimes on top of an illegal invasion? Don’t you remember what a great American said?

It's a bad time to be a mercenary, regardless how righteous the cause. The lawless, China and Russia, have taken over.

 

[occupied]

What kind of stupid strategy is this? Knowing they will be murdered if captured they will fight all the harder to maximize Russian casualties before they get taken out.

"At best, they can expect to be prosecuted as criminals.

They will be shot.

Pretty sure that Ukraine will get atleast 20,000 foreign trained fighters---Russia's force is now already less than 140,000 poorly trained. If each foreigner fighters kills 3 Russians--the rest will all runaway.

Mercenaries are highly trained and very smart... 3 kills is a very low ball estimate.. The Russians are very scared that they will be pushed back.. They will become even more ruthless in shelling and destroying everything. These men know how to use gorilla warfare and they will teach it to the Ukrainians.. This is going to be a protracted war.

It's beginning to look like you're right.

Protracted war is a win for the Ukrainians--Putin was promised and needed a QUICK victory----the protracted war has left to much time for outrage to build around the globe forcing corrupt governments to aid Ukraine and now serves as a warning to China. Putin has lost all of his political capital which in Russia could and likely will be a death sentence if he can't win it back quickly.

Seems that A lot of Americans were fighting alongside the Kurds and Peshmerga against ISIS knowing if they were caught, they'd be killed by beheading.

LoL last time they got riled up?

Last time Russia fought a major war they destroyed 650 German divisions while the US never engaged more than 150 and managed to destroy only 1 German division.

I think the Russians know what they are doing, probably better than the US, considering the US lost Iraq to Iran, and lost Afghanistan to Russia and China.
