Some 31 Russian servicemen have been convicted for waging an aggressive war against Ukraine, TV Channel 5 has reported with reference to Ukraine's Chief Military Prosecutor Anatoliy Matios.

"We have judges' verdicts at our disposal against the Russian military. Everyone saw Alexandrov and Yerofeyev - they were sentenced to 12 and 14 years and did not appeal these verdicts, as they were exchanged. What does this mean? It means they have acknowledged their war, and that they were involved in an aggressive war against our state on the territory of our state – this is an irrefutable proof. And I could provide a lot of such facts … 57 people were sentenced, 31 of them - the Russian military. These are court sentences of the Ukrainian legislature. In fact indictments were brought to the court against 27 people," Matios said.
