  1. Shaun Pinner deliberately went to Ukraine to join Azov Battalion in 2017.Before going to Ukraine he was in Syria.A colleague of mine knows Shaun!My colleague mentioned him when all this started in February.I was updated yesterday on all this from my colleague.Shaun met my colleague in Moldova when Shaun had to leave Ukraine because he was training the Azov Battalion and had to leave Ukraine briefly because he was with the Azov Battalion on a standard tourist visa free arrangement!According,to colleague Shaun was getting paid for this but it was not a fortune! Shaun had to leave Ukraine to arrange certain documents for re entry to Ukraine.The Azov Battalion said that they were arranging for a resident permit so he could stay and train not have to leave go back and forth!My colleague was renting an apartment in the same block as Shaun. This was 2018 and Shaun didn't even have a girlfriend let alone a wife.He definitely didn't have Ukrainian citizenship at that time! Shaun was proud of Azov Battalion and walked around Chisinau Moldova capital, with a Azov SS t-shirt!My colleague thought that was a little provocative! According to my colleague Shaun was involved as a British citizen with Azov fighting the Russian separatists in the Donbass region!Shaun told him of an American who went to join Azov Battalion and made out he was this big tuff gangster but after exposure to a few days on the front line in Donbass the American disappeared one night just left couldn't take it! Shaun went there on his own free will to deliberately engage ethnic Russians! So this is not a straightforward case! If Shaun has Ukrainian citizenship and what I understand is dual citizenship is not permitted under Ukrainian law then why are the media keep saying he is British!Where is the official statement from the Ukrainian authorities that Shaun has Ukrainian Citizenship!If has Ukrainian citizenship then he is not the responsibility of Her Majesty's Government! So it looks at the moment that Shaun doesn't he Ukrainian Citizenship but just Ukrainian resident visa status!So he is British citizen fighting possibility killing ethnic Russians for 5 years!

  2.  @random6809  Exactly what what did he do after 2018!Where is the official statement from the Ukrainian government that he has Ukrainian citizenship because I can't find it!If he is Ukrainian now officially in the Ukrainian Army where is his Ukrainian record and that should be made public for his defence in court!Kyiv has been very quiet on this! The facts as they are is he went wanted to go to Ukraine as a single man to fight!Was being paid and provided food shelter.As a British citizen! So a man that is not a Ukrainian citizen and fought in Syria.Went to join Azov Battalion who do have a reputation!Received payment and board is not a mercenary?Please define your definition of a mercenary?I'm interested to know.
