ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine (Reuters) -A Ukrainian court jailed a Russian soldier for life on Thursday after finding him guilty of killing a Ukrainian prisoner of war, the first time Ukraine has handed down a custodial sentence to a suspect on such charges since Russia's invasion.

The court in the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia found 28-year-old Dmitry Kurashov guilty of shooting dead Vitalii Hodniuk, a Ukrainian soldier who had surrendered in January 2024 after his dugout was captured by Russian forces.
