700 Ukrainian Prisoners Are In Lugansk, LPR Leader: Fate Decided By Court, Everyone Gets Deserved Punishment

JAKARTA - Head of Public Affairs Leonid Pasechnik revealed that about 700 Ukrainian prisoners of war were in the territory of the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR), on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg (SPIEF), Thursday.

"About 700 prisoners of war are currently in LPR territory. Of course, this number is constantly changing, increasing. What will happen to them: I think the court will decide, the court will decide," he stressed as quoted by TASS, June 16.

Pasechnik further explained that the punishment will depend on the offense committed by each individual.

"If someone takes part in the shooting of civilians and the mass murder of the Donbass population, that is one type of punishment. If he is somewhere handing over ammunition, it will probably be another type of punishment," he explained.

According to Pasechnik, all those involved in the mass murder of Donbass citizens are awaiting trial, and they will receive the severe punishment they deserve.

"After all, the person involved in the massacre will receive the punishment he deserves. For sure, the court awaits everyone, and everyone will suffer the punishment they deserve: a severe and quite legal sentence," he concluded.
