Original Note:
Mercenaries are still to be treated humanely according to international law. If the Soldier killed was a member of the Ukrainian armed forces, even if they're a foreign national, they are not a mercenary. https://guide-humanitarian-law.org/content/article/3/mercenaries/ Summary execution of mercenaries is not lawful https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl/v1/rule47
