He deserves death penalty for high treason! Bastards!
A few more in Ukraine need to swing with him.
Even if a country doesn’t have the death penalty he should have gotten 300 years for what he did. 300 years under an outhouse on Maidan would have been justice.
Living in Russia is a death penalty.
Don’t worry, Ukraine, having to hold Pew-tin’s night potty for life is punishment enough. Especially when there is brown stuff in it.
