In the first of what could be a multitude of war crimes trials inside Ukraine, Russian sergeant Vadim Shishimarin, 21, was sentenced for the killing of a 62-year-old man who was shot in the head in a village in the northeastern Sumy region in the early days of the war. Shishimarin, a captured member of a tank unit, apologised to the man’s widow in court.

Of Ukrainian descent, she initially left Toronto at the start of the Russian invasion to help refugees at the Polish border and eventually volunteered to help in Bucha. She painted her first flower around a bullet hole after speaking to a resident who said “the bullet holes in my fence remind me of all that I’ve lost”.Credit:Christopher Furlong/Getty
