Correspondent. Russia sick of its war – (SPECIAL ENVOYE / FRANCE 2)
“Special Envoy” traveled across Russia in the footsteps of the fighters who have been waging Putin’s war in Ukraine for two years.
Exceptional dive into a closed country at war, following in the footsteps of the fighters who have been waging Putin’s war in Ukraine for two years. “Special Envoy” traveled across Russia to meet these volunteer or mobilized Russians returning from the front, sometimes physically injured or even psychologically destroyed.
For the first time, the magazine’s camera was able to enter a hospital where Russian soldiers are being treated, those wounded that the Kremlin would like not to see. The team also met with families of fighters. Some support the war, others do not, but all pay the price.
Criminals amnestied to become soldiers
“Special Envoy” also investigated these criminals, amnestied in exchange for six months in the ranks of the Wagner militia, who return free to the scene of their crime. Some of these men, released without having served their sentences, killed again.
A report by Luc Lacroix broadcast in “Envoyéspecial” on February 15, 2024.
