A Ukrainian soldier has pleaded "partly guilty" at Russia's first trial for war crimes in connection with its military campaign in Ukraine. Anton Cherednik, a member of Ukraine's naval infantry, faces charges in the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don of trying to seize power by force, of using prohibited methods of warfare, and of murdering a civilian in Mariupol in March last year in the conflict's early days. His lawyer, Vladimir Bakulov, said Cherednik had pleaded "partly guilty" and had requested a meeting with the judge to explain his position. To read the original story by Reuters, click here.
