Russia Issues First Prison Sentence for ‘Voluntary Surrender’ to Ukrainian Forces

  • A Russian soldier, Roman Ivanishin, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for desertion and voluntary surrender to Ukrainian forces, marking the first prosecution under this law since September 2022.
  • Ivanishin was captured by Ukrainian forces in June 2023, where he condemned Russia’s military actions in a video and called for other soldiers to desert.
  • President Volodymyr Zelensky highlighted that intelligence suggests significantly more Chinese soldiers are fighting alongside Russia, a claim the Kremlin denies.
  • Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov mentioned that reaching an agreement with the U.S. On peace talks in Ukraine has been 'not easy' and that Russia will not depend economically on the West again.
