| #4 When I see the common soldier shoulder the blame for something like this, I'm always a bit more than casually suspect. |

| #3 Your correct. Putting a POW on trial like this is a show. This just does not pass the smell test. I cant explain it but is prosecuting a private when the civilian killing is wholesale over there the right answer? Where are the tank commanders that ordered them into civilian sectors etc... I cant really put a finger on it, wish I could. |

| #2 He’s a 21 year old sergeant in a tank unit, 49 Pan. He shot a passing civilian in the head, according to the article. |

| #1 This is just wrong on so many levels. This troop is a kid. He was captured, interrogated, and pled guilty of a war crime. I could get anyone reading this to confess to the same crime in less than three days. He was not an officer ordering executions, I believe he was a private. this seems like nothing more than a PR stunt by the Ukraine government. |
