Kennedy got to the moon by giving some Nazis a free pass for heavy participation in the Holocaust.

This is a bit of a stretch. Von Braun and co already got their free pass long before Kennedy became president.

It says he was convicted in a Russian-controlled court which is not at all the same thing. International law is clear on this and Russia is clearly breeching it.

Try putting some more effort into your trolling, I quoted the actual appropriate law.

He is a member of the International Legion for the Defence of Ukraine and as such is unambiguously not a mercenary by the definition used in the Geneva Convention and so is owed the protections afforded to prisoners of war.

Specifically, article 47 of Protocol 1 is clear that a neccesary condition to be considered a mercenary is that a person:

is not a member of the armed forces of a Party to the conflict

The fact that Russia has a history of ignoring this is not the knock-out argument you seem to think it is.

What's a little contravention of the Geneva Convention on Prisoners of War between friends?

Also trees, natural light and less densely packed desks than in any office I've ever worked in. Unironically looks better than having a job.
