A Russian soldier on trial for war crimes in Ukraine has pleaded guilty to killing an unarmed civilian.
Vadim Shishimarin is accused of killing a 62-year-old unarmed civilian with a firearm in the days after the occupation began and will face life in prison.
Prosecutors say more trials are expected to follow, after identifying thousands of possible crimes committed by Russian forces. Moscow has denied that its troops targeted civilians.
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) says there are 3,752 civilians killed in Ukraine since Russia invaded on February 24.
It is learned that 4062 others have been injured, he says.
Most of the registered civilian casualties were caused by bombings, rockets and airstrikes, he added.
The OHCHR says it believes the true figures for civilian deaths in the conflict are higher.
