Worst war criminals were released in a prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine in the middle of referendums taking place, I wonder what Stalin would do if he was alive…

    Yyyyeap. Now this ruffled a lot more feathers than mobilization did. It’s not that exchanging POW’s is bad, especially considering what Ukrainians do to them, but for, fuck’s sake, why exchange them for Azov specifically? Although, it’s not like nazis aren’t all over Ukrainian military…

    As for what Stalin would do, German POW’s certainly weren’t sent to death camps or anything, it’s just that the other side prefered to exterminate POW’s instead of exchanging them. German POW’s in USSR were used for rebuilding post-war and then a lot of them were sent home after a prison sentence.

    A prisoner exchange for information and whatever else in the throes of a referendum. They vote to join Russia, then the nature of the war changes. Sure. Let them go back to Ukraine. Wait and see if Ukraine has the balls to shell Russian territory and see if it DOESNT justify a FULL mobilization. Those POWs will be dead eventually.

      The Russian territory of Belgorodskaya oblast has been under Ukrainian shelling for a while now. For now only the villages and smaller objects, because gladly US fuckheads haven’t sent the 300km range rockets for HIMARS to the nazis. But…

    It’s not so much about the exchange itself. It’s about WHO was exchanged. The nazis are not much of a problem here really. If military exchanged nazis to get back many POWs from the military, including high value personnel like multiple pilots that would’ve been fine.

    But instead they “bought” the Ukrainian opposition politician and buisness man for like 20-30 Azov heads. Fuck this. They literally sold a bunch of nazis to buy themselves one ultra-rare nazi.

    The Azovites were exchanged for Russian POWs that Ukraine was threatening to execute iirc (I can’t find the source anymore) and the Azovites will spend the duration of the conflict in Saudi Arabia
