The first Russian soldier on trial for war crimes is back on the stand in Kyiv. The 21-year-old pleaded guilty to shooting a 62-year-old unarmed Ukrainian civilian. In court, he had a message for the victim’s widow. CNN’s Melissa Bell has more. #CNN #News

War is war
D sentence !
He's a young man. Maybe sent there against his will. But, why kill innocent man? Man who hasn't done anything to you.😔 I'm so sorry ma'am. I know you'll forever live by the pain but i hope you'll still find even a little comfort in you heart someday
For people saying this shows that this this nooo, balllllllin rich world leaders give commands maybe oil maybe land or who knows. But you listen an get to work hahaha
Russia- #1 corrupt country in Europe.
Ukraine- #2 corrupt country in Europe.
Give the widow a knife, and let her go in the Box
Show mercy for the boy, he may not know much. The politicIans are responsible for putting us in such a situation. We are only humans. Learn and forgive.
”War is, when the old and bitter, trick the young and stupid into killing each other.”
I understand that women , and I'm feeling to her sorry, but that soldier is right that's it's hard to forgive these behave and it's hard to forgive for the widow. It's even hard to forgive for me their behave in Ukraine.
What about one million Iraqi civilians who were killed by western forces, or you want to tell us that Muslims are not humans, disgusting two faced fake hypocrites western media
so young and already balding. putin sure has alot of influence
Exchange POW is right contact United Nations for this, what❓ stopped you from contacting United Nations and exchange pow. Fair enough of this war trials and exchange pow, loosen your jaw. Do you need their contact🗣📲📞, Contact United Nations and exchange pow.
Don't you need your heroes then exchange!
United Nations, contact those who have pow.
Don't you need your heroes then exchange!
United Nations, contact those who have pow and exchange.
This war , do not fall in this Zelensky trap.
You were given option to surrender, you fought, that is your sin
You could have saved their lives and still can reduce further losses.
This is no military mistake here at all. Can they retreat, NO
Then leave the power, exchange them and that is right, he is not your law property, you cannot force your laws over war countries citizens, are you now cured of your ww, this is not a world War, exchange your power do not fight, right, there is no case here to break head over.
Don't you need your heroes then exchange!
What about the American soldier that committed war crimes in iraq. Why aren’t they going to court
The plea bargaining and cooperation with investigators (as earlier reported by CNN) doesn’t land you in prison for life, unless there is capital punishment, which is none in Ukraine, so it is highly likely to be a kangaroo court trying to make an example of him
Why the favoritism for Ukrainian, why is it that their lives matter more than all the Middle East countries ravished by the US/West atrocities. Where is the equity.
What about all the videos the Ukriane army uploaded on social media at the end of March of them killing wounded Russian soldiers and saying "they will take no prisoners", shooting Russian POW's in the knees and executing Russian POW's? All in our war to "weaken Russia militarily" as Washington DC put it.
Hey, where is the coverage of the Sussman trial? 😂
this soldier did more than a Ukraine president ever did. 😮
Communist News Network… sad.
Maybe if Zelensky hadn't armed civilians, the Russian soldier would have been less terrified and might have acted differently. We can't imagine the pressures of being in a war situation. All war should be illegal – harming and killing people cannot be rewarded with medals and punished at the same time – it's madness. Peace is precious. No more war!
I believe he is sorry. But that doesn't mean he's not guilty. Conscripts get shot if they don't obey. Give him 20 years.
Understand he was just sentenced to life in prison. He was following orders, but he did what he did and must face the consequences. So many other incidences that we don’t know about. Must capture the higher authority and put them on trial! Would be something to put Putin on trial. But good luck doing that!
He is sorry cause he got caught killing unarmed elder…..
This Russian solider is paying for his crime while the mastermind is living comfortably in his presidency suite.
Fuuu killer for putin. Killer for bush killer for hillter. All killer
Putin is to blame 💯
wow you guys really put it on,, with all the deaths you say happened,, you only focus and this one…. good reporting.
he soldier, pretty evil what you did. I hope you get a short jail centre, and join your family again after the war. This war is shit. If you want to support the family, do so for the rest of your live.
great report
And how did this help end the nightmare ???
What a mockery of a court
What a mockery of a court
What about war crimes of Azov Nazi battalion on prisoners and civilians ?
Wants a bullet to the head
Feel both ways about it. He is a murderer but he'd be dead if he wasn't. That's a lot to process in the heat of the moment for a young boy.
He should be punished out of principle for the family's loss but it's another reminder that soldiers often face the public fury which should be mostly reserved for scum leaders.
This commander committed no crime…that 67 year old is veteran solder who tell you this …"he was killed by the man who gave the older..the commander is only just solder who carried out the older as he was trained" if he had done that of own will than murder…
