A Ukrainian soldier, Anton Cherednik, has pleaded "partly guilty" on Tuesday (April 4) at Russia's first trial for war crimes in connection with its military campaign in Ukraine, according to his lawyer Vladimir Bakulov.
Anton Cherednik, a member of Ukraine's naval infantry, faced charges in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don of trying to seize power by force, of using prohibited methods of warfare and of murdering a civilian in Mariupol in March last year in the conflict's early days.
It was the first time Russia had accused a member of Ukraine's armed forces of war crimes, according to Russian news outlets and the court's press service.
