The death penalty is pretty standard for that. Especially during a war. People have faced firing squads for much less. 

Russia has a moratorium on the death penalty. They haven't had a legal execution since 1996. Other than the US, China and Japan, all the developed countries no longer have the death penalty. Only one US soldier has been executed for desertion since the Civil War. Eddie Slovik in 1945.

Yes this is true but it remains to be seen that justice will be served here is my point.  So far so good I suppose.

We executed 25 of our own soldiers in WWI.

But Slovik was the only one was executed for desertion; the rest were murderers and rapists.

Ya, we followed the British. Australia refused to execute any of its soldiers in both world wars.

I'm talking about Canada. Most of our executions were for treason and desertion.

Russia will not investigate Prigozhin crash under international rules - report

Reuters: Russia has informed Brazil’s aircraft investigation authority that it will not probe the crash of the Brazilian-made Embraer jet that killed mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin under international rules “at the moment”, the Brazilian agency told Reuters on Tuesday.

 

No surprise here.
