Original Note:
According to Article 47 of Protocol I, an ammendment to the Geneva Conversation, the person depicted in this post is not defined as a "mercenary", as foreign volunteers fighting for Ukraine are a part of the regular Ukrainian military and are therefore not mercenaries. https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/api-1977/article-47 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Legion_(Ukraine)
