On 2 April, Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) exposed a corruption scheme involving over UAH 733 million (approx.

Punished yes, but using the front lines as a punishment also doesn’t sit right with me. Being on the front is a sucky place to be, but when one begins using it as a punishment, it feels like a short step from there to being morally ok with russian-style meat wave attacks.
When it’s prisoners and such, it likely easy to see them as expendable and that degrades our humanity and turns us into the enemy.
I also agree with that. An example needs to be made of them, I just don’t think that’s the way. I’m sure something equally terrible can be thought up. There are plenty of horrifying jobs in a war, like dead orc removal and things of that nature.
I agree. I just don’t want these people to get of scot-free sitting in a cushy apartment with an ankle-monitor, sipping on some fine wine. That wouldn’t be justice.

It doesn’t sit right with me that people who steal from the troops protecting them get to safely sit in a cell.
