US representatives have not yet contacted the authorities of the Donetsk People’s Republic about the American mercenaries who fought in the Donbass, said the head of the DNR, Denis Pushilin.
“At the moment, none of the representatives of the American authorities have come out. How it will be possible to pull out or save their citizens without reaching out to the leadership of the Donetsk People’s Republic is not even possible to discuss yet. The legislation of the DPR does not provide for a specific date of execution, that is, here the executive service is guided by its internal decisions, the execution of the sentence is not public and is not subject to publicity,” Pushilin said.
Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov on June 20, in an interview with the American television channel MSNBC, said that the detained American mercenaries were not the military of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but “soldiers of fortune” who participated in the battles against Russian military personnel.
According to the Kremlin spokesman, these prisoners cannot count on the protection of the Geneva Convention. Peskov also allowed them to be sentenced to death.
