A Russian soldier named Dmitriy Kurashov is on trial in Ukraine. He is accused of killing a Ukrainian soldier who wanted to surrender. This happened during a fight in January 2024. Kurashov said he did not do it, but he said he is guilty in court because he wants the trial to finish quickly.
The Ukrainian police and court are working hard on this case. They talked to many people who saw what happened. These people are also Russian soldiers. The police could not go to the place where the killing happened because it was too dangerous. They used the stories from the witnesses to help with the case.
If the court says Kurashov is guilty, he will stay in prison in Ukraine. The Ukrainian government wants to show that they follow the law, even during war. The family of the dead Ukrainian soldier is very sad. The trial is still happening now.
