Der russische Kriegsverbrecher und Besatzer Wladimir Iwanow, der bei der Hinrichtung einer Gruppe ukrainischer Kriegsgefangener gefilmt wurde, gestand ein Geständnis und wurde zu lebenslanger Haft verurteilt. Er verteidigte sich, dass er nur Befehle befolgt habe

80 years ago, the [Nuremberg trials](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_trials#Defense) showed that following orders doesn’t absolve of war crimes.

All Russian war criminals should be held accountable for their actions in front of either a Ukrainian court of law or an international war crimes tribunal.

This is another instance clearly showing that even in times of war when Ukrainians fight for their very survival every day, Ukraine is strongly commited to upholding the principles of rule of law and humane treatment of prisoners.

It’s a humbling example strongly suggesting Ukraine would be a great contribution to EU having proven its strong commitment to uphold democratic principles in the most dire times.

Unlike the pro-Russian antidemocratic Hungarian regime that is going out of their way to delay EU assistance to Ukraine ([link](https://kyivindependent.com/hungary-blocks-eus-90-billion-euro-loan-to-ukraine-demanding-russian-oil-ahead-of-war-anniversary/)), oppenly shitting on European principles while expecting continued EU funding for their political shenanigans.

Spending life in jail is now also an order… follow it

This man never followed history lessons. That excuses didn’t work then. Won’t work now.

if he likes following orders so much he’ll make a great prisoner

Just like his fellow nazis.

Its a good time to invest in Rope.
