Russian occupation court sentences Ukrainian marine commanders to life over Mariupol defense

Russian occupation authorities in Donetsk Oblast have sentenced two Ukrainian marine commanders and two deputies to life imprisonment on trumped-up charges related to the defense of Mariupol. Russia's Investigative Committee accused them of murdering 93 people and shelling civilian infrastructure — standard propaganda charges Russia uses against Ukrainian defenders. The article notes that Russia regularly uses such fabricated charges to imprison captured Ukrainian soldiers, activists, journalists, and civilians for lengthy terms.
