Guest: Tembisa Fakude, Senior Research fellow at Africa Asia Research Dialogues
A Russian soldier was sentenced to life in prison Monday for killing an unarmed Ukrainian civilian in the first war crimes trial since Moscow's invasion began three months ago.
The verdict, which caps days of proceedings in a Kyiv courtroom, could set the stage for a string of other prosecutions for allegations of atrocities committed by Russian forces during the conflict.
Senior research fellow at Afraisd, Thembisa Fakude says it was pivotal for Ukraine to lay out the evidence for the Ukrainian public and the world to see.
Clement is joined by Professor Emeritus of International Law at UNISA, Prof Andre Thomashausen and Senior Research Fellow at Africa Asia Dialogues, Thembisa Fakude to discuss the Finland and Sweden applications to join NATO.
