Putin could generate more good will by a lenient sentence than with an execution even though they have cause to sentence them to death.
Everything in world politics is spin and appearances.
We'll see what happens in this case. Our ex-military need to wake up to the fact that hiring out as paid killers is not a good decision even if the money can be huge. In opinion most of them are chasing that money, but there are some that are just chasing that trill of power, sadism. That last lot should be executed.
He tried doing the right thing vis-à-vis NATO but you see how well that worked. If NATO wants to fight proxy wars, it should be prepared for its foreign fighters to be executed for war crimes. I assume at this point that body count is no concern for genocidal lunatics though.

Prescient point made. Most likely, though? In Putins best interest to make a point. That being, firing squad.

Contract work certainly does pay well. And contract work doesn't have to be fighting for Ukraine, it can be security of all sorts or training others.
