There is evidence of torture on Stuk's body. Kyiv needs to disown this sort of vigilante justice. The positive commentary by the Ukraine Deputy Speaker was misconceived to say the least. If the progress of the war can be advanced by taking out a senior traitor, then send in a sniper team.

takes many forms. Whether this pro-Russian POS met a fate like this or not, trumps puppet master is going to continue to kill many, many children with thermobaric bombs. This POS met the fate he chose. Whether by the military or RESISTANCE fighter, I say excellent. His soul, if there is a hell, is with Hussein and Hitler dancing in the flames in more pain than can be imagined.
