I understand your argument.^^^^^
What exactly are they achieving with this.
This 21 year old while deserving to be held accountable is but a pawn he probably had no idea what he was fighting for or why he was there, more than likely scared out of his mind.
The real murderer is Putin and his cohorts, generals, prosecuting a 21 year old soldier does nothing, these soldiers mean absolutely nothing to Putin they are dispensable, this will not be a deterrent to other soldiers either they are being brain washed and ordered to do this.
Total waste of time and money but great for CNN.
It's Putin who is really responsible, and it's also true that Putin doesn't give a damn, he will do absolutely nothing for all his soldiers.
A 21-year-old soldier kills a 62-year-old civilian, and we should forgive him for everything?
The war = Russian soldiers against Ukrainian soldiers, not civilians.
