Arrested in Ukraine for participation in illegal armed formations Russian mercenaries are complaining that they are not wanted, their rights no one to protect.

As the Tsenzor.NET Russian media MK.RU wrote about the fate of Ukrainian prisoner caught in Russian voennosluzhischih.

The article notes: "Not so long ago we raised the topic Russian volunteers who are in prison in Kiev, Kharkov, Mariupol and other cities There they were, if considered together with political prisoners, about two thousand people in the ce they are listed as common criminals, so.. these people are not covered by the Geneva Convention, they are judged by the ordinary Criminal Code and sentenced to terms of varying degrees of severity - from 8 to 13 years, mostly for their participation in illegal armed groups and attempts to overthrow the government with swarm of Ukraine. "

publication stresses: "Their rights do not protect anybody's Guide." DNR "to give them up, for example, a scout Denis Sidorov, taken prisoner in September 2016, right after it was fired from the composition of its military unit in hindsight relatives simply do not know. what to do ", - says Andrey saddle movement of" New Russia ", the official representative in Russia" Union prisoners of war and political prisoners of Donbass ".

We live in a technological age, and convicts serving time in various prisons often hundreds of kilometers away from each other, still managed to connect, unite and create an organization that is ready to fight for the freedom of their comrades. But above all to convey their aspirations to sitting in Minsk.

By the way, the basic idea of the Minsk agreements - early exchange of "all for all", it can not be done in the first place because it does not go Kiev. After all, the total number of captured soldiers in the Armed Forces of Ukraine "DNR" and "LNR" and no more than a hundred people. I have hundreds of almost two thousand prisoners Ukraine is unlikely to agree. "

MK wrote:" Meanwhile, the prisoners of Donbass composed the whole appeal which was transferred to Minsk. It not only requests but also the requirements for those who once again sat down at the peace table. "We are interested in the exchange of all for all, and to expedite this procedure are willing to commit themselves to implement the verification of persons who have renounced the exchange," - says Maxim Garmash, head of the "Union prisoners of war" were convicted under article 110, part 2, 260. , ch. 2, and 263 hours. 1 CC Ukraine. Encroachment on the territorial integrity, participation in illegal armed groups, illegal handling of weapons. In total - 8 years.

Verification process, on which their hopes former militia, lasts for months in Ukraine. It lies in the fact that at the detention center and an IR drive committee who are interested in prisoners, exactly where they want to serve their sentences - in Ukraine, Russia, or perhaps return to rebellious Donbass?

Is it any wonder that the majority of inmates purchased ... Ukraine and refuse to exchange, as outside observers of this process there is a kind of expression. But not only fear, I think, makes the guys to sign all the necessary documents, and the fact that by agreeing not to return home, instead they receive the promise of freedom in the future out on parole or amnesty. Of course, only if you decide to stay.

So what to do? Without completion of the verification process the exchange of all for all will not work. This was confirmed by the representative of the "Donetsk Republic" Daria Morozova. But the end of this event, too, is not expected for quite objective reasons. "

" Since the survey of prisoners (November-December 2016) of the desire / unwillingness to return within sharing, to the moment of their verification were released 150 people - continues Maxim Garmash. - According to Ukrainian law, they are now free citizens and are free to move around the country and abroad, in connection with which to establish their whereabouts and to conduct the verification is not possible. "

That is, there is no quorum the meantime." POW Union, "said he was willing to find all who must pass the verification and personally participate in the process for compliance with the law, "We are asking members of the" DNR "and" LC "for a list of persons subject to verification, Ukraine - to provide our." Union "certificate of exemption persons who in 2016 declared the refusal of exchange and as of June 2017 remain at large, as well as ensure the safety of members of the "Union" during the verification process, "- suggestions prisoners militia were sent to all three of the contact group the parties in Minsk , DNR and LNR, in the Ukraine and is now waiting for them to respond to it is their last hope, "-.. sums up edition.

Comment:

It's been known that any country having current conflicts can't be a member of the NATO group.  That's why countries like Georgia and Modlova haven't been able to join.  

THIS would be a move that would make Putin hit the roof and threaten Ukraine heavily, as he recently did to Sweden.  

Can this cause an all-out war?  We all know Putin and what his desires are, globally.  He WON'T allow it to happen.  But! seeming he's losing his support in his own country, he might not be able to do much, as his own population will take it against him for fully invading a country that for a long time was part of Russia AND its people. Many Russians still live in Ukraine. Russians won't allow it.  It'll increase the chance that he can be removed by his own hierarchy.  It was attempted by Hitler's own and the same can happen in Russia. We've seen for quite some time recently, the removal of key players within the Kremlin.

Basically! Ukraine IS currently  protecting the rest of Europe with very minimal aid or assistance.  They should be considered a member of NATO.  It's the least they should do for protecting them and paying the cost for it.. And the borders near Russia have been gearing up against Putin and his possible attempts.  

NOW! Seeming Trump's not a big fan of NATO on behalf of Putin,  he might not have much to say about this IF he's still president and the US is still a member of NATO.  Trump might just want to vote against Ukraine joining.  Not sure if a unanimous vote or a majority vote is needed, for NATO to act.  Not sure of the timeline on this, but it seems NATO's not seeing much of a choice.

The Kremlin said that Ukraine's accession to NATO pose a risk to state security in Russia.

The press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, reports Ukrainian news agency UNIAN .

"In Moscow traditionally distrust and concern relate to the process of NATO expansion towards our borders. We believe that it threatens our security and the balance of power in the Eurasian region. Clearly, the Russian side is taking all necessary measures to unbalance the situation and protect their own interests and their own safety "- said Peskov.

Earlier, Parliament established the deepening cooperation between Ukraine and NATO in order to gain membership in NATO as a basis for foreign policy.
