A 21-year-old Russian soldier has been sentenced to life in prison for killing a Ukrainian civillian.
Following the first war crimes trial of Russia's invasion, Sgt Vadim Shishimarin was accused of shooting a civilian in the head in a village in the north-eastern Sumy region during the early days of the conflict.
He pleaded guilty and claimed he was following orders when he shot the man.

The court heard that an officer insisted the victim, who was speaking on his mobile phone, could reveal their location to the enemy Ukrainian forces.
Shishimarin appeared to show repentance during the trial after he asked the man's widow to forgive him.
His defence lawyer, Victor Ovsyanikov, argued that his client, a member of a Russian tank unit who were eventually captured, was unprepared for the "violent military confrontation" and mass casualties that Russian troops faced at the start of the Ukrainian invasion.
It comes after the three-month-long war displaced people worldwide to record high numbers, according to the United Nations, with more than 100 million people being driven from their homes all over the world.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the World Economic Forum in a video calling for "maximum" sanctions against Russia.
He argued that further sanctions are needed to stop Russia's aggression, including an oil embargo alongside all of its banks being blocked and cutting off trade with the country completely.
Ukrainian people were also praised by the president who said his country had slowed Russian advances and sparked unseen unity in the democratic world.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Russian forces have increased their shelling in Ukraine's eastern industrial heartland as they continue their offensive in the region which has become the focus of conflict.
In Donbas, Ukrainian and Russian forces are fighting town by town, causing many civilians to flee their homes.
On Monday, US President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida joined in Tokyo to condemn Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
Prior to this, the US president signed legislation granting Ukraine $40 billion (£31.8 billion) in extra US support for its defence against the Russian attack.
Moscow has outlined its current goals in Ukraine, with its sights now set on trying to expand the territory that Russia-backed separatists have held since 2014.
