Original Note:
There is no such entity as the Donetsk People's Republic recognised by the international community, both Donetsk and Mariupol are in Ukraine. Captured soldiers are POW. Sentencing them for taking part in hostilities is a breach of the Geneva Conventions. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/2/22/what-are-donetsk-and-luhansk-ukraines-separatist-statelets https://blogs.icrc.org/law-and-policy/2022/06/23/on-trial-geneva-convention-prisoners-of-war/
