A 21-year-old Russian soldier pleaded guilty Wednesday to killing an elderly unarmed civilian in the first war crimes trial since the start of the invasion of Ukraine.
Sgt. Vadim Shyshimarin, a tank commander, could get life in prison for shooting an unarmed 62-year-old man in the head through an open car window in the village of Chupakhivka in the northeastern Sumy region on Feb. 28, four days into the war.
Standing behind glass in a Kyiv district court, Shyshimarin showed no emotions as he “fully” admitted his guilt through a Russian translator and declined to give testimony.
