Senseless behavior. Nice of him to do it in full view of the camera though. |

Re: War Veteran Stabs Man to Death at Russian Bus Station
Verstka, an independent russian website, estimates that at least 242 russians have been killed by soldiers returning from Ukraine. Another 227 have been seriously injured. Many of the attackers have previous criminal convictions and were released from prison specifically to join russia’s war in Ukraine. Courts have routinely used participation in the war against Ukraine as a reason to issue milder sentences. But many cases don’t even reach court. Moscow has introduced a new law against “discrediting the russian armed forces,” which has made some victims of crimes by veterans afraid to report them. In 2023, the number of serious crimes registered in russia rose by almost 10%, and in the first half of this year the number of military personnel convicted of crimes more than doubled compared to the same period a year before. Ukraine also began allowing convicts to enlist in the army. However, the eligibility requirements for these prisoners are more stringent compared to those in russia. Those serving for premeditated murder, the murder of two or more people, sexual violence, drug production, and crimes against national security are not eligible to enlist. In russia only those convicted of terrorism, extremism, and sexual crimes against minors are forbidden to be recruited. However, most of the verdicts on extremist or terrorist charges in russia are simply falsified, as the Kremlin uses them to imprison those protesting against its regimes. Murderers, serial killers, and others can join. |
