The Ukrainian soldiers who were reportedly shown executing Russian prisoners of war (POWs) should suffer "pure punishment" in the form of a death penalty, former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev said Friday evening. "Many years ago, I was taught criminal law at university...they said criminal punishment consists of two elements: Correction and reeducation of criminals and punishment," Medvedev wrote in his Telegram group. "Death is the only pure punishment, for obvious reasons."
Medvedev continued, saying the "Ukrainian bastards who shot Russian servicemen should not receive any other punishment than a pure punishment. Even if it takes years to find them." Earlier on Friday, Russia's defense ministry claimed Ukraine had executed more than 10 Russian POWs, accusing Kyiv of carrying out war crimes that Moscow said the West ignores.
