A court in Kiev has sentenced Russian serviceman Vadim Shishimarin to life imprisonment. He is accused of murder. The verdict can be appealed to the Court of Appeal.
Earlier, the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov commented on the situation with the trial of a Russian serviceman taking place in Kiev. He admitted that this case had attracted the attention of the Russian side. Nevertheless, it is not possible to provide protection to a citizen of the Russian Federation in this situation.
According to him, the activities of foreign institutions are not actually carried out. However, this does not mean that Moscow will not consider the possibility of attempts through other channels. And the press secretary of the president stressed that the fate of every citizen of the Russian Federation is of primary importance for the country’s leadership.
The announcement of the verdict in Kiev began on May 21. The Ukrainian prosecutor’s office demanded a life sentence for the Russian.
