In Kiev, the Court of Appeal changed the sentence of 21-year-old Russian soldier Vadim Shishimarin. Instead of a life sentence, he will spend 15 years behind bars.
In June, Shishimarin appealed to the court. A 21-year-old fighter of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was accused of violating the rules and customs of war and sentenced to life imprisonment. Shishimarin himself served as a squad commander in the 4th Tank Kantemirovskaya Division with the rank of sergeant.
Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that as a result of an APU strike from the American HIMARS multiple launch rocket system at the detention center in Yelenovka in the DPR, 40 Ukrainian prisoners of war were killed and 75 wounded. The blow was struck on the night of July 29.
As the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin said, the shelling of the pre-trial detention center in Yelenovka in the DPR was deliberate and began due to the fact that the militants held there, in particular, radicals from “Azov” (recognized as extremist and banned in Russia), they began to testify.
