By EUobserver
A Russian soldier facing the first war crimes trial since the start of the conflict in Ukraine has pleaded guilty to charges of killing a Ukrainian civilian, AP reported Wednesday. The 21-year-old sergeant Vadim Shyshimarin could get life in prison if convicted of shooting a Ukrainian man in the head through an open car window in a village in the Sumy region on 28 February, four days into the invasion.
