In a landmark case, Czech mercenary Philip Siman has been sentenced to seven years in prison for illegal mercenary activity and looting during his service in Ukraine. The ruling highlights the growing scrutiny of foreign fighters in the ongoing conflict.
Siman, 27, fought alongside the Ukrainian Armed Forces in 2022 and was found guilty of stealing valuable items from destroyed homes and fallen soldiers. His defense team plans to appeal the court's decision, citing orders from superiors as justification for his actions.
