The first Russian soldier on trial in Ukraine for 'war crimes' during Moscow's attacks pleads guilty, facing possible life imprisonment in Kiev
Facing up to life imprisonment, the soldier looked towards the ground as a prosecutor read out charges against him in Ukrainian.
Asked in court if he was guilty of the allegations, including war crimes and premeditated murder, 21-year-old sergeant Vadim Shishimarin responded "yes" on Wednesday. Shishimarin — from the Siberian region of Irkutsk — sat in the glass defendant's box in a Kiev district court, wearing a blue and grey hoodie.
Prosecutors say Shishimarin was commanding a unit in a tank division when his convoy came under attack.
