The prosecutor claims that the guilt of the Russian army man is proved not only by his words, but also by examinations and testimonies. Among other things, the investigation seized the weapon used by Shishimarin, as well as the weapons of other people who were with him in the car.

Vadim Shishimarin is 21 years old. He served in the 4th Panzer Kantemirovskaya Division of the Moscow Region. He was the commander of a tank division.

Subsequently, Shishimarin was taken prisoner.

Earlier, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that the state would insist on an international tribunal for Russian war criminals, but there are Ukrainians who will look for the occupiers on their own. The tribunal over the Russian occupiers can last for a long time and people will not have enough patience.
