Article doesn’t say, but I’m assuming they captured him in Ukraine. In which case Russia took someone from a foreign territory they were at war with (they’ve done this so much already that we know it happens) as a prisoner of war. And then sentenced him in one of their internal kangaroo courts.
I’m not a lawyer, but it sounds like they broke a plethora of Geneva Convention provisions. (Again, something we know Russia does a lot.)
