A Russian National Guard soldier was sentenced in absentia to 12 years for torture and rape in Kherson.
The Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv found a soldier of the 1st Marine Company of the 1st Battalion of the 40th Separate Marine Brigade of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Armed Forces guilty of a war crime and sentenced him to life imprisonment.
Earlier, based on evidence gathered by the Security Service of Ukraine, two FSB agents were sentenced to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property after being exposed in late October 2025 for coordinating Russian airstrikes on Dnipro.
