This is not too problematic. Geneva convention and Hauge regulations are clear. They don't get the protection of Geneva conventions like troops normally are. They are spies or saboteurs.
In Russia KGB and now FSB have always been a military service. Captured KGB/FSB officers (in civilian clothing) are not treated as captured military.
- tokai 5y agoI guess they mean it's problematic for their soldiers. For the people capturing them, it makes things a lot easier as you write.
