With young men from Syria, Egypt and Yemen ending up on the frontline in Ukraine, 麻豆社 Eye investigates the woman many say tricked them into fighting for the Russian army.
*** This programme contains very strong language ***
Over the past year, 麻豆社 Eye has followed the journeys of young men from Syria, Egypt, and Yemen who travelled to Russia in search of work, only to end up on the frontlines in Ukraine. Why are these men risking their lives in a war that is not theirs?
Many, including students, say they were tricked into fighting for the Russian army by a recruiter.
麻豆社 Eye investigates their stories, meeting a family grieving the loss of their son and a young Yemeni man now trapped in a prisoner-of-war camp.
