There seems to have been a news blackout on the fate of the ex-pats who joined the Ukrainian army and of the aid workers who have all been sentenced to death by a kangaroo court set up by Russian proxies. One can only hope that Putin sees no advantage in executing these men. This calculation is the best one can hope for. After all, he had no hesitation in shooting down a civilian airliner with families as well as health experts on board.
Maybe the aid workers will be quietly released and expelled. The Russians are unlikely to release the soldiers to fight again, though. One guess is that they will be interned in the same Gulag as the Ukrainian civilians expatriated by the invaders, not to be released until the conflict is settled.
