Captured Russian soldiers, Elon Musk threaten President Putin

A number of Russian soldiers captured in Ukraine have vowed to rise against President Vladimir Putin when they return to their country, TopNaija reports.

The prisoners of war said that they would be judged for attacking and killing innocent civilians in the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces.

They expressed shame over the invasion of Ukraine, saying “We all will be judged”, CNN reports.

“I want to tell our commander-in-chief to stop terror acts in Ukraine because when we come back, we’ll rise against him,” one of them said as reported by CNN.

Russian President Vladimir Putin “has given orders to commit crimes. It’s not just to demilitarize Ukraine or defeat the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but now cities of peaceful civilians are being destroyed.

“The crimes that we committed, we all will be judged,” they stated.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said that 600 Russian soldiers have been captured in Ukraine and nearly a dozen of them appeared in news conferences held by the Ukrainian authorities.

However, their public appearances may be questionable under the Geneva Conventions. The conventions go against states unnecessarily humiliating prisoners of war.

Meanwhile, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has also challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin to a single combat fight for Ukraine.

Taking to Twitter, Musk wrote in Russian, “I hereby challenge Владимир Путин to single combat Stakes are Україна.”

Which, when translated, means “I hereby challenge Vladimir Putin to single combat Stakes are Ukraine.” he continued, writing the country’s name in its own language.

In a follow-up tweet Elon Musk wrote Вы согласны на этот бой? @KremlinRussia_E.”
“Do you agree to this fight?.”

Responding to a user who tweeted that Putin would easily win the fight, Musk wrote, “If Putin could so easily humiliate the west, then he would accept the challenge.”
“But he will not.”

Elon Musk has actively performed in the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, both on his Twitter and through his companies. He also provided Starlink space internet equipment to Ukraine.
