A Finnish court on Friday sentenced Russian ultranationalist Vojislav Torden to life in prison for war crimes committed in Ukraine in 2014, including the mutilation of a wounded Ukrainian soldier.

The Helsinki District Court found Torden, a commander in the Russian far-right paramilitary group Rusich, guilty of four war crimes in eastern Ukraine’s Luhansk region.

Tbh, it's very russian world of him. The biggest propagandist in Russia, Vladimir Solovyov, has a son who is a male model in London. This guy threatens to bomb the city his son lives in on a weekly basis.
