Peskov's words shocked the White House/Channel 24 Collage
< strong _ngcontent-sc88="">The White House is shocked by Dmitry Peskov's cynical statement. Vladimir Putin's spokesman said two Americans captured during Russia's war with Ukraine could be executed.
Details were provided by John Kirby, Strategic Communications Coordinator at the National Security Council. He said that the White House called Peskov's statement “terrible”.
We are still trying to find out more about these 2 people (taken – Channel 24). It's terrible that a Russian government official even allowed the death penalty for American citizens who were in Ukraine, Kirby voiced the reaction of the White House.
Take note! Peskov once again proved that the Russians are real barbarians. He stated that captured Americans could be sentenced to death.
Kirby stressed that he would not try to get into the head of Peskov or Vladimir Putin. At the same time, regardless of the real or hypothetical prospect of the death penalty for Americans, such statements are still disturbing.
The invaders “sentenced” foreign defenders of Ukraine to death
In June 2022 The whole world was shocked by the news that militants in the temporarily occupied Donbas “sentenced” to death three foreign volunteers who fought on the side of Ukraine. It's about:
- Aiden Aslin (UK citizen);
- Sean Pinner (UK citizen);
- Saadoun Brahim (Moroccan citizen).
The UN has already announced , that such “trials” of prisoners of war amounted to a war crime.
Boris Johnson – Prime Minister of Great Britain – said he was shocked by the death sentences. The prisoners, as members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, are protected by the Geneva Convention. The UK and Ukraine are cooperating to fire volunteers.
The militants call on foreigners to join their ranks
Foreign volunteers who fought on the side of Ukraine were sentenced to death by a self-proclaimed “court”. Meanwhile, Denis Pushilin, the leader of Russian militants in the temporarily occupied Donbas, allowed foreigners to serve in the “internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs”.
Meanwhile, Sergei Shoigu, Russian Defense Minister, had earlier reported about 16,000 “volunteers” from the Middle East. They allegedly “wished” to come and fight against Ukraine.
