SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL Unfortunately the Rules are "Different" for Mercenaries and it is easy to Paint a Foreigner fighting for an Opponent as a "Mercenary" Not Protected by the Geneva Convention. Having Said that, He is Valuable for Trading, Which I Suspect is the End Goal. Hopefully they don't carry out the Sentence. That would be Politically Ignorant, They've already Made the Point with the Sentence.

Members of the French Foreign Legion are protected by the Convention, Pinner's no different. He's on the rolls as a member of the Ukrainian 36th Brigade (naval infantry). If he is executed, then the separatists may be facing war crime trials themselves.

Russia and the illegal breakaway state of Donatesk do not get to decide who is and who is not a Mercenary. Vladimir Zelensky, the legal president of Ukraine stated that all foreign fighters were part of Ukraines military and thus covered under Geneva conventions rules of combatants.

No Matter What It Called,
We MUST Stop Putin Or He'll Just Keep Coming.
Hitler Used Those Exact Same Tactics;
And See What He Managed To Accomplish Before Being Stopped?
NO, It Ain't Pretty, But The Results May Still Be The Same
