A Kyiv court on Monday 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.

"The court has found that Shishimarin is guilty and sentences him to life imprisonment," judge Sergiy Agafonov said.

The Russian soldier told the court last week that he shot Shelipov under pressure from another soldier as they tried to retreat and escape back into Russia in a stolen car on February 28th, the fourth day of Moscow's invasion.The youthful serviceman looked on from the glass defence box as the verdict was read out in Ukrainian. An interpreter translated for him into Russian.

You just a news agency pushing west narrative

Russia is having half a million of AZOV soldiers under captivity , why so much interest in this one little guy.

This boy should have been given a knife to assassinate himself, fare justice

Russia said, they don’t know this person and have about 2000 Ukraine soldiers in their custody from Mariopol.

Putin must go fetch him...

I sincerely hope the Russian soldiers learn from this and lay down thier arms..this war is benifing no one but Putin mad Ego

He will almost Surely be swapped out for a Ukrainian Prisoner in Russia.

A civilian on the street on a cell phone during the peak of a war can be regarded as a soldier or an informant. Im not in favour of russia's invasion of ukrain but that soldier carried out an order. This case was not properly tried.

Just let him go to jail for the rest of his life.

Correct now for putin
