The court sentenced Roman Ivanishin, a Russian soldier from Sakhalin to 15 years, who voluntarily surrendered to the Ukrainian army in June 2023. Although in captivity he openly criticized the war and called on the Russians to desert, Ukraine released it to Russia. In March 2025, a military court in Sakhalin found him guilty and sentenced him to 15 years of penal colony. Yesterday, the Russian press described the case.
