3. The prosecution appears to be well grounded in the facts and just.

The Russian soldier has appointed counsel. The Ukrainians appear to be following acceptable legal process.

I had been worried that the Russians would respond by trying captured Ukrainians on trumped-up charges but the Russians routinely torture and murder captured Ukrainians soldiers (and civilians) already without any pretext at legal process. A show trial and a public execution would be much better than the usual treatment of captured Ukrainians. There is no good reason that Ukraine should not enforce its law.
