Russian sergeant Vadim Shishimarin sits in the defendant's box on the last day of his trial on charges of war crimes for having killed a civilian, at a courthouse in Kyiv on May 23, 2022. "The court has found that (Vadim) Shishimarin is guilty and sentences him to life imprisonment," judge Sergiy Agafonov said. - A Kyiv court ruled that a 21-year-old Russian soldier who killed a civilian was guilty of war crimes and handed him a life sentence, in the first verdict against Moscow's forces since their invasion. Shishimarin, a Russian sergeant, admitted early in court to killing 62-year-old Oleksandr Shelipov in the first days of the Kremlin's offensive in north-east Ukraine. (Photo by Sergei SUPINSKY / AFP)
