A mercenary from Armenia who fought on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was detained at Domodedovo Airport

According to the Investigative Committee of Russia, the country's special services detained a citizen of the Republic of Armenia, Armen Balyan, at Moscow's Domodedovo Airport, who is accused of fighting against the Russian Armed Forces on the side of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

According to the investigation, the detainee arrived in Ukraine via Moldova in November 2022, where he served as a mercenary for a year in territorial defense units and took part in military operations on the territory of the new Russian regions of the DPR, LPR and the Kherson region.



In August of this year, Balyan was charged in absentia under Article 359 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation for mercenarism, and the man was put on the wanted list. He was detained last month when he tried to enter Russian territory. The purpose of his visit to our country is currently being investigated.

The Russian Investigative Committee reported that Balyan has already confessed and is cooperating with the investigation. According to the detainee, the unit in which he served in Ukraine was disbanded, since almost all the servicemen in it were wounded or killed. He himself was also wounded several times.

The Basmanny Court of Moscow has decided to choose a preventive measure for Balyan in the form of detention. The investigation is ongoing. The former mercenary of the Armed Forces of Ukraine may receive up to 15 years in prison.

        The face is not disfigured by intelligence! Apparently, it is so, since he flew to Russia. Both we and the Ukrainians know who is fighting for whom, right down to the home address and phone number.

      I understand you very well, but what good will it do to dispose of this individual? Like - avenge all those he killed? This is the easiest way for him. But there is another way to take revenge.
      So that he could work hard for the rest of his life for a piece of bread with pearl barley and bring income to our state. It is not for nothing that they say - at least a tuft of wool comes from a dead sheep.

          After the end of the war, all Ukrainians who are in our captivity will be released after some time, just as the German prisoners of war were once released.
          I am sure that those who have been found guilty of war crimes and foreign mercenaries will not be released.

            After the Second World War, ordinary German prisoners of war were released almost immediately. Only those guilty of war crimes remained. It was them that Khrushchev later released, and not "ordinary soldiers", as the propaganda that praised his humanitarian exploits later claimed.
            Unfortunately, there is always a possibility of new Khrushchevs and Gorbachevs emerging, especially if we do not take care of the transfer of power in time before our health condition makes this process difficult to control.

                      We speak different languages. You speak, introducing children and their deaths into the conversation, i.e. personal motives, and I speak from the position of the state, for which the death of a person is just statistics, not a tragedy. Hence our disagreements. Try to take the position of the state in this matter and everything will fall into place.

                        It's all emotions. It's not the Motherland that fights, creates, organizes citizens to achieve some goals (whether it creates well or poorly is another question), but the state.
                        The Motherland cannot, for example, form an army to defend your Motherland; the state does this, and as a citizen of this state, you support in this matter not the Motherland, but the state.
                        You all understand perfectly well, you just don’t want to, even understanding that I’m right, agree with me.
                        I, like you, love our Motherland, but everything we need for life, a lot or a little, is given to us by the state.
                        Yes, we are always dissatisfied with our state, it does not always treat us fairly. But who is to blame for the fact that we have such a state?

                        You are strange, though. I will now give you a list of fifteen books that I think you have not read, and if you have, then clearly not all of them. And what does this mean? Absolutely nothing. In our polemics, you proceed from revenge for emotional reasons and wish death to the arrested person, and I proceed from the rules of warfare and the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Which, the "rules", prohibit the killing of prisoners and the Criminal Code, which prohibits the death penalty.
                        And you are stubborn, like some kind of animal, don’t take it as an insult, and demand, in order to justify your position, to read some little-known writer (?), although perhaps a participant in the events in Yugoslavia.
                        I say again - stop your fruitless attempts to prove your case. You are wrong! Killing an arrested person is murder, a criminal offense!

        The penal servitude must be resumed. We roll stones up the mountain, from the foot until the morning.

        That's what I'm talking about. And I get a soldering iron, a stake, a sledgehammer!!!
        Only Sisyphus and his work were of no use to anyone. But I need them to bring income to the state.

          Is the state engaged in business? Are you concerned about the income of Russian Railways? Or lumberjacks? belay

            Isn't it? Prisons and colonies are state institutions. In colonies, convicts work and not only for food and clothes. That is, they are in the position of hired workers. The difference is lower wages, limited rights and freedom of movement.

    A former mercenary of the Ukrainian Armed Forces may receive up to 15 years in prison.

    The dude fought against our troops, killed our guys and possibly civilians! And now we have to feed him for FREE for another 15 years? belay
    Maybe you should sentence him to the highest measure - execution? And the money saved in this case, you can give to pensioners, children in need of paid surgery, and finally to the disabled for rehabilitation!
    I understand that Russia is a generous and rich country, but let's not squander these riches and feed criminals!!!! am

      I hope he has already "sold out" everything and everyone, so he has earned himself 15 years of life with his personal slop and slop. And his accomplices - bye-bye... Otherwise I refuse to understand such publications!

    And he went to Russia. Maybe he didn't just come, but on a sabotage mission.

    I went with fake documents, but apparently I bought them at the crossing, so the border guards immediately noticed the forgery. Well, and then it was a matter of technique

    Is this guy sane in the head??? fool He must understand perfectly well that he is wanted as a war criminal who fought as part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces against the Russian Armed Forces and Russia. It seems that the concussion has completely knocked out his memory and sense of self-preservation. crying He should have stayed at home in Armenia... but no, he went to Russia for the big bucks... And now he's facing many years of jail and gruel... laughing

    Almost nothing has changed, the same people are still at the helm, so the probability of another "gesture of humanity" is very high...

    We should bring back the highest level of social protection.
    Both traitors and these jerks.
    They'll give him 15 years, and after 10 he'll be released on some kind of parole in honor of Victory Day.
    And he will sit on a porch in the mountains, herding goats and telling his grandchildren about his "heroic deeds"
    And the families of those he killed will... Well, you understand.
