Finland Sentences Russian Neo-Nazi to Life for War Crimes
Voislav Torden, 38, received a life sentence from the Helsinki District Court for four war crimes committed in Ukraine in 2014 while serving as deputy commander of the Rusich unit. The court found him guilty of orchestrating an ambush that killed over 20 Ukrainian soldiers, including the execution of at least one wounded prisoner, and the mutilation of another. Evidence showed Torden’s direct participation in the killings and subsequent acts violating the laws of war. One charge, related to online threats, was dismissed.
