Could you cite a legal document to that end? Per the cited court decision, he was an illegal immigrant awaiting deportation.

You're right, that case is different because he crossed into Ukraine by himself. I missed that bit in the article. The law only applies to POWs.

So fucking stupid. I guess you have to go with the intent to kill Ukranians, and then change your mind to be protected.

Actual supporters not wanted.

Prisoners of war get treated like prisoners of war.

Well, by Ukraine, anyway.

[–] Tuuktuuk@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yes, but that's irrelevant here. This guy was not a POW.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Exactly. So he doesn't get treated like one either

[–] Tuuktuuk@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

Why should he get?

[–] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

Sounds like he would have had a pretty legit claim to asylum...
