For the first time, a Swiss citizen who fought in Ukraine as a volunteer has been convicted by a military court, reported RTS. The ruling comes as around 15 similar cases are under investigation and has revived debate over the boundaries between law, morality and personal freedom. He received a suspended prison sentence of 18 months. It is the first Swiss judgment of its kind relating to a combatant in Ukraine. One of them, who also travelled to Ukraine to fight, says he is aware of the possible consequences and is prepared to serve a prison sentence.
