The move is seen as part of Ukraine's efforts to reinforce its army as soldiers struggle to hold positions against Russia
The Abu Dhabi Cassation Court heard that the GCC national had lured the elderly woman into entering his car after he promised to buy her a new mobile phone.
The man then placed a gas cylinder, which was in a box, at the back of the car and drove her to their old abandoned house located in Al Wathba area of Abu Dhabi.
Prosecutors said the man then opened the gas cylinder nozzle that was near flammable materials inside the car, locked the car windows and doors and left the woman inside. He went to the old house waiting for the old woman to suffocate after the had car caught fire. But on hearing the old woman screaming so loud, the man hurried to get her out of the burning car fearing that people would hear her and come to her rescue.
The forensic report said the woman suffered second and third-degree burns to her face, ears, head, neck, back, and fingers. The total body burns had covered 25 per cent of her body.
He then went to Abu Dhabi's top court where the cassation prosecution has requested that his appeal be rejected because there was sufficient evidence to convict him. Prosecutors also asked court to oblige the defendant to pay the legal fees.
