Le soldat russe jugé pour avoir abattu un civil ukrainien condamné à la perpétuité : il fait appel de la sentence.
A Kyiv court sentenced Russian soldier Vadim Shishimarin, 21, to life in prison for killing a civilian in Sumy Oblast during the Russian troops’ retreat on Feb. 28.
Shishimarin pleaded guilty to fatally shooting his victim, adding that he didn’t want to kill him. While the defense asked for the soldier’s acquittal, the judges on May 23 ruled that he is guilty of a war crime and deserves the harshest available punishment.
“Even though the defendant said he did not intend to kill, the court does not trust these claims and believes there was an intent,” said judge Serhiy Ahafonov. ▻https://kyivindependent.com/national/russian-soldier-jailed-for-life-for-killing-civilian-in-ukraine-law
