Pretty direct violation of the Geneva Convention

Article 3 II: The wounded and sick shall be collected and cared for.

Are you seriously comparing the construction cost of one pipeline with the overall impact that this war has on Europe's entire economy and national budgets? :rofl:

Russia's increased military spending will also cost them hundreds of billions over the coming years, as do the economic and financial sanctions. The long-term loss of their best customers will also diminish their future revenue. The overall cost of this war for Russia will easily go into the trillions too, anyone thinking otherwise is a fool. Also note that Europe and the West as a whole have economies which are magnitudes larger than Russia's. If necessary, we can absolutely shoulder an economic hit which is nominally larger than the hit Russia takes.

And last but not least, we should not forget that not all of the inflation is due to the war in Ukraine. Inflation in the US already stood at 7.1% in January 2022, so it's not like everything would be fine and dandy if only Russia had been allowed to steamroll Ukraine.

Comparing the impact, yes. And not just that one pipeline, I'm sure read that I said there's an impact for Russia.

@bolded nice contradiction there, Russia small economy losing trillions just like the EU is losing trillions xD

"most of them are carriers of such diseases as HIV/AIDS, syphilis, tuberculosis and pneumonia, local medics refuse to provide mercenaries with medical care"

I guess some of them are Wagner convicts/prisoners recruits, right ?

- Are about to commit war crimes in Ukraine
- Ukraine has just enough to take care of its soldiers
- These criminals are carriers of diseases endangering the whole place

Yep, I guess no one will care of them. Best option is to send them back in russian territory.

EU pledges to double number of Ukrainian troops trained, reaching 30,000

Training seems so

"We're accusing them of having the potential to commit war crimes at some arbitrary point in the future" isn't a justification to commit war crimes
War crimes are war crimes. Refusing medical care to prisoners of war is a war crime.

Mercenaries aren't protected by the Geneva Convention.

I never see you spawned a single time since the beginning regarding all the horrible mess done by Russia. This is disturbing.
Seems these doctors have no other choice if they dont want to infect and kill normal patients.
When there's no solutions choices have to be made, right ?

If you want to condamn that yourself you can do, on the other hand: what solutions do you have ? Are the doctors militaries ? Source of accusation ?
