@@ScumfuckMcDoucheface Graham Phillips is a UK born and raised Russian sympathizer who regurgitates Russian propaganda and tells the world how terrible we are for thinking Russia is in the wrong. He interviewed Aiden after he was captured, telling him how horrible he was for taking up arms against Russia.
@@reptreptilian I haven't heard about it yet (I don't tend to watch Russian propaganda). The interview was conducted in captivity, with the threat of beating and death hanging over Aislin. The interview video with Phillips introducing Aislin as a mercenary. No conditions or intention for finding out the truth.
The Russians killed a whole lot of Aslen's comrades in Olenivka by locking them in a building and firebombing it. And then they claimed it was a HIMARS strike. "The prisoners of war who were injured or died at Olenivka, and their family members, deserve the truth to be known, and for those responsible for breaches of international law to be held accountable," said High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk in a statement sent to journalists. The UN rights body, which said it has conducted extensive interviews with survivors and analysed additional information, added that the incident "was not caused by a HIMARS rocket".
The trial/sentence was likely not recorded and was probably a ploy to manipulate some prisoners into a position of such desperation that they might divulge military secrets etc. Russia does not have an official death penalty but of course they are documented to have executed many Ukrainians - both military and civilian prisoners.
Deep respect to Aiden for the bravery and strength to speak about this. I hope they receive the greatest amount of love, care, and support this earth can offer ❤
Would you have said the same about Yevgeny Prigozhin? He was corpulent and fought alongside his soldiers? And besides this guy gained much of his weight post release according to earlier photos. He wasn’t just sitting on his sofa stuffing his face - unlike some who do - and then think they are an authority on everything.
@@ElatenlThey did. Russia hasn't it (well it has but there is a moratorium which forbids its application, and the last execution was in 1996, an Ukranian serial rapist) so when they were annexed by Russia it automatically became abolished. So basically their life was saved due to DNR and LNR becoming part of Russia.
is your IQ fit for defining you as a human? Your comment would indicated NOT. An easy google of his name would have shown you what he looked like as a solider.
You are confused: only Russia uses mercenaries - like Wagner. Aslen was a member of the Ukrainian 36th Marine Brigade. He was on normal Ukrainian Army pay rates, not a mercenary. Now Wagner on the other hand conforms to every definition of a mercenary outfit.
If you are a member of the Armed Forces of a country you aint a mercenary, this is stipulated in the Geneva Convention, you know, the one you are refering to. These guys were 1. Residents of Ukraine 2. Part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and 3. Probably got paid the same amount as Ukranians of similiar rank, no mercenary. b) Is motivated to take part in the hostilities essentially by the desire for private gain and, in fact, is promised, by or on behalf of a party to the conflict, material compensation substantially in excess of that promised or paid to combatants of similar rank and functions in the armed forces of that party; c) Is neither a national of a party to the conflict nor a resident of territory controlled by a party to the conflict; d) Is not a member of the armed forces of a party to the conflict; and Has not been sent by a State which is not a party to the conflict on official duty as a member of its armed forces.
Russian bots on the other hand, should definelty not be keept alive. How's the work environment at the troll farm. One of these days I'm sure some drones will come visit.
Frankly I do not pity him. I am glad he was not executed. But you know what you are getting into when you become a mercenary or get into a foreign army. And all of that due to the stupid hate some people feels for Russia.
This is likely the account of a Russian troll, as shown by the auto-generated username and poor English. Also, it should be stressed strongly that Aslin was not a mercenary, but a Ukrainian marine who had served there since 2018.
Looking at his physical state.. I am surprised he was going to opt for the walk. However should not have been there in the first place. Its that simple.
Your here telling your tale that's the main thing big man. Respect.
Pray youre doing better now, brother. Never give up.
That's one hell of a story for the grandkids! Glad you got out alive to tell the tale. Wishing you nothing but the best of luck for the future! 💪
amazing testimony
I remember when Graham Phillips interviewed and humiliated him. What a total scumbag (Phillips).
...? Give us some context..? Or at least a link. haha =)

Phillips was very fair to him in that interview and managed to get Aslin to confess that he was a merc and that the Russians treated him well.

What right have russia to sentence a serving soldier?

he admitted to being a mercenary, even though he wasnt
@@nickex2003 after his court appointed lawyer told him too
@@timsullivan4566 well yeah, but he still said he was, wether that’s wrong or right he admitted to being one, so therefor they can sentence him as one

Russia is North Korea 2
Over 700 men surrendered? WTF
Corpulent man who should not try soldiering. He's not soldier material.

They were doing something they would not be doing unless they were drunk.
Infusiastic, uhhhhmmmmm uhhhhmmmmmm uhhhhmmmmmmm. 😂😂😂
Hello?
Russia does not have the dearth sentence look it up
Tell that to Prigozhin xD
And the scores of Ukranian prisoners locked in their prisons and all murdered in the early part if the war
@@Law9652xD but Wagner is outside the law so they can be killed outside the law.
@@ianross04 There is a difference between being murdered in a war and being sentenced to death by the whole country.

Honest to god does this guy look fit for service?
He gained a lot of weight after the ordeal

For the U.S. Army ... Yes!
You should be grateful to the Russians for keeping you alive even though the Geneva Convention does not protect foreign mercenaries

@@AndyM_323YYY since you’re dumb Wagner is now integrated as volunteers.
Since when are folks who are in the Ukrainian military a mercenary just because of where they were born???

You have just given the reason why people do fight Russia.
Just out of interest, how many MORE war crimes would Russia have to commit before you would develop a slight dislike for them?
