This focuses on the Ukraine war around 2023, and toward the end, Russian soldiers fighting near Bahkmut in 2024.

It’s a documentary unauthorized by the Russian military or state, as it depicts things truly as they were, and more importantly captures many candid moments with soldiers, moments with their families, etc.

Morale even then was very low, and many even admit they either have no idea why they’re fighting, or that it is a war for elites and the rich.

Some willingly enter the war deluded with patriotism, some admit it’s purely for money, others are drafted. Some who previously questioned the motives of the war later choose to buy into Russian state propaganda to mentally justify and cope with the deaths of their friends.
