Kramatorsk resident sentenced to life for guiding Russian strike on restaurant. In June 2023, a Russian missile killed 13 people at dinner time – including four children and the writer Victoria Amelina – and injured 6 others.

The man, whose identity has not been revealed, was “recruited” by Russia, according to the same source. His task was to confirm “the presence of Ukrainian soldiers” in the restaurant. To this end, he “recorded two videos which he immediately sent to his interlocutor” on the messaging application Telegram, said the prosecution.
