Ukraine collects evidence for war crimes cases

Evidence of war crimes, crimes against humanity in Ukraine but not genocide: Veteran investigator

The first Russian soldier to face trial for war crimes in Ukraine pleaded guilty to shooting and killing an unarmed 62-year-old civilian.
21-year-old soldier, who was part of a Russian tank unit captured by Ukrainian forces in early March, just days after the war began, faces a possible sentence of life in prison.

The soldier had been driving in a private vehicle with other soldiers, which they had stolen in an attempt to escape after their column came under attack by Ukrainian forces a few days after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

They drove to the village of Chupakhivka, where they came upon the victim, a 62-year-old man riding a bicycle and talking on his phone. He fired several shots out of his open car window at the victim's head, killing him instantly.
