    The condemned can appeal the sentence within a month and ask for clemency. If the head of the DPR pardons them, their death penalty could be replaced with life or 25 years in a penal colony. The death sentence in the DPR is carried out by firing squad.

    The new military cathedral in Kubinka, with stairs made of the steel of molten German tanks has seeeerious WH40K vibes too.

    Wonder if it's a coincidence that the Imperium of Man sports the double-headed eagle too.

    Link doesn't lead to the story however https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/06/09/russian-officials-take-office-in-separatist-eastern-ukraine-a77944. The Chief Minister of Donetsk was replaced by the President of Donetsk, with a Russian technocrat along with 2 other Russians in the new Donetsk cabinet. By the way "the Mariupol mayor" fled to Kiev before the Mariupol was placed under siege. He has been replaced, by the ex head of Azovstol, as the new mayor by the Donetsk government.

    Under the Mariupol "Azovstal" a single underground city was not found

    Under the Mariupol plant "Azovstal", where the militants of the national regiment "Azov" * (an extremist formation) banned in Russia, were blocked, they did not find a single underground city, which was repeatedly reported earlier.

    Despite the prevailing opinion that the militants at Azovstal could move almost under the entire territory of the industrial zone, there was no unified system of dungeons. As Izvestia writes , extensive underground bunkers and bomb shelters were located under the workshops of the plant, but they were not interconnected. This was the reason that part of the militants ran out of ammunition and food, and they had to go to the surface to replenish them.

    The appearance of militants on the surface was spotted by the allied forces, after which it was decided on continuous artillery and aviationstrikes that virtually isolated the militants in their bunkers and prevented them from resupplying. After that, Tu-22M3 long-range bombers and Tyulpan super-heavy mortars joined the strikes, which began to destroy underground bunkers.

    However, the resistance of the militants was finally suppressed after taking control of the slag dumps, from the tops of which the entire territory of Azovstal was shot through. After that, the militants and the remnants of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine capitulated.

    Earlier it was reported that Azovstal has an extensive network of underground utilities with varying degrees of depth. It was announced about three and five underground floors, and in some cases up to 9 floors.

    Recall that 2,439 representatives of the enemy armed formations surrendered from Azovstal, including several hundred militants of the Nazi Azov *. Part of the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was placed in the pre-trial detention center of Elenovka in the DPR, and the militants, for the most part, were transferred to the territory of Russia in the pre-trial detention center of Rostov-on-Don and Taganrog.

    What I will say about the 3 mercs is

    I can dismiss every argument for leniency towards them; including optics/PR value, their official status in the Ukrainian military and/or having served in it since before the war, value for prisoner exchanges, etc...
    Because yes an example needs to be set to discourage more foreign mercenaries from taking up arms, and DNR law applies to the territory of the DNR

    Except for one argument - namely that they surrendered willingly, and on the backdrop of a Russian & DNR promise that the lives of everyone who surrenders will be guaranteed. AFAIK, Russia & the DNR did not appeal to certain categories of fighters or add any qualifiers or conditions; they addressed all combatants in Mariupol with the same offer by default.
    Therefore executing them now will essentially be going back on their word. But it's important for Russia and the DNR to keep to their word and show that they are ready to implement what they announce.

    Because yes an example needs to be set to discourage more foreign mercenaries from taking up arms, and DNR law applies to the territory of the DNR

    Except for one argument - namely that they surrendered willingly, and on the backdrop of a Russian & DNR promise that the lives of everyone who surrenders will be guaranteed. AFAIK, Russia & the DNR did not appeal to certain categories of fighters or add any qualifiers or conditions; they addressed all combatants in Mariupol with the same offer by default.
    Therefore executing them now will essentially be going back on their word. But it's important for Russia and the DNR to keep to their word and show that they are ready to implement what they announce.

    It was announced since quite some time that amnesty and/or mercy will apply to VSU forces who have not committed any atrocities, but for mercs there will be no such deals. Maybe I am wrong chronologically, but I would believe it was said prior to the liberation of Mariupol.

    Anyways, this needs to be a clear message to potential Redditors and other super one-man-army guys trying to get on the railshooter they believe this war against Russians will be to kill people. Mercy and Amnesty to anyone in VSU who has not committed atrocities, does not uphold nazi-like ideologies or is planning in any way or form to commit anything against Russia or population for whatever reason. All the mercs, regardless if they pulled the trigger, cleaned boots or were the battalion cooks in the field, all must have a taste of the blood and stench of their kind at the chopping block.

    T-62s for LDNR militia, principally used for security in rear areas, or as support for their T-64/72 break-through tanks where they are engaged in front-line offensives.

    T-80BV/T-72B3M/T-90M for Russian national forces to supplement their contingent of less-advanced T-72s variants.

    Yeah, makes a world of sense.  Its no wonder that Western presstitute scribblers don't get it... clown

    I agree, hopefully the appeal court will consider this and commute their sentence to 25 years of demining.
