The military blogger said that Russian troops fighting in Ukraine 'have no legal standing.'
The Kremlin's description of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine puts Russian troops at risk of being considered criminals, according to military blogger Igor Girkin.
"From a legal standpoint, it is not known what the so-called Special Military Operation is," said the former commander of Moscow-backed troops in the Donbas region from 2014, using Moscow's official term for the war it started in February 2022. "It is just unknown. The troops that are fighting now don't have any legal standing," he said in a clip on his Telegram social media channel tweeted byRussian military blogger Igor Girkin on September 27, 2022, in Moscow, Russia. He said on his Telegram channel that Russian troops fighting in Ukraine have no legal standing due to the Kremlin calling its invasion a"special military operation.
"How can a soldier shoot a citizen of a formally sovereign state when no war has been declared? This makes him a criminal."Girkin is a former FSB officer who has been a prominent critic of how and his generals are conducting the war in Ukraine, giving an unvarnished view on his Telegram channel of what he sees as their military shortcomings.
