Ukrainian pilot Dmitry Shimansky, accused of terrorism, violation of international flight rules and illegal crossing of the state border, is seen inside a defendant's glass cage during a hearing at the 2nd Western District Military Court in Moscow, Russia. According to investigators, in April 2023, two pilots Dmitry Shimansky and Alexander Morozov violated Russian airspace in light A-22 planes in order to drop small bombs on an oil refinery in the Bryansk Region, but failed to accomplish the mission. Morozov was detained near the border with Ukraine (his plane caught on a power line), and Shimansky was arrested in the Tula Region, where he landed.
