MOSCOW: A court in Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine sentenced a Ukrainian soldier to 26 years in prison for allegedly killing a civilian during Moscow´s 2022 siege of the port city of Mariupol.
Russia took hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers captive during the battle for Mariupol at the start of its 2022 offensive, in one of the most brutal battles of the conflict.
The Russian army razed Mariupol to the ground before it fell under Moscow´s control in May 2022.
Russia has since handed several Ukrainian citizens heavy sentences in secret trials, with Kyiv and international rights groups saying the practice defies the norms on the treatment of prisoners of war.
