Russians accused of rape and murder will be first to face war crimes trials

More than 10,700 crimes have been registered in the war by the office of Ukraine's prosecutor general, led by Iryna Venediktova, and a handful of cases have now been filed or are ready to be submitted in a watershed moment two months into the war.

Vadim Shysimarin, a 21-year-old commander of the Kantemirovskaya tank division, who is in Ukrainian custody, is expected to be the first to face trial over his alleged murder of a 68-year-old man. It is alleged that Shysimarin, a sergeant, had been fighting in the Sumy region in north-east Ukraine when he killed a civilian on 28 February in the village of Chupakhivka.

He is accused of driving a stolen car containing four other soldiers as he sought to flee Ukrainian fighters, and then shooting dead the unarmed man on a bicycle as he was talking on his phone. He was ordered "to kill a civilian so he would not report them to Ukrainian defenders”, according to prosecutors.

The crime is said to have happened close to the victim's house and was committed using an AK-74 rifle. The case was filed at a criminal court this week. "He is here [in Ukraine), we have him," said Venediktova, speaking from her heavily fortified headquarters in Kyiv.
