    As a reminder, betraying your country to an invader is not typically a charge that meets with a jury trial.

      …and ends with a very quick sentence, even in countries where very quick sentences are otherwise frowned upon. Treason just seems to usually be an exception to the rule.

    Never collaborate with occupiers. Lots of people in Afghanistan learned that the hard way, too.

      The consequence of someone saying their opinion should in no case to be murdered. It is wrong to murder people because they have a different opinion.

      I did not know he was also a collaborator …

        Mr Struk … actively pursued a ‘pro-Russian position’ in the last week by 'communicating with the Russian Federation

        Actively supporting an invading force during war isn’t “having a different opinion,” it’s treason.

          No disagree from me. I was just triggered by the clickbait title that does not say anything about collaboration.

      Should check out the podcast “Sad Oligarch” it’s about the rash of Russian oligarchs and such throwing themselves out of windows, and killing their families then themselves.

        I recommend it as well. It’s not just people falling out of windows, they use all kinds of methods to get rid of people they don’t like.

      That’s the thing, see. A bullet. It is known he was murdered.

      Somewhere in the Kremlin someone is thinking that this was entirely without style. So blunt. Barbarous. When a man falls from a window it is … an accident.

      Meanwhile, somewhere in Ukraine, someone is thinking “Style be damned, this was a message.”

      They will continue to disagree about which method is best regardless of specific situation and intended subtlety until one of them is shot or falls out of a window.
