suddenly shut down project cassandra in 2016? 03 pod documentary series. i'm asking has paula starts may 4th on d, w. the of the south asian country is in the spotlight. thousands of net policemen fighting a distant war on behalf of russia and ukraine, driven by poverty and the promise of a better future. they risk their lives to support that fineman is back home. hundreds of families have lost contact with their loved ones on the front lines. those who the escaped baptists. cons of

a foreign hall. many of those stand ready to join down to the new era village outside cap. mine do this family moans. the death of that last one, who knew about her daughter was killed 3 months ago, fighting on the front line in ukraine. a fellow natalie soldier confirmed by her to his death to his wife flew over the phone. every month lou organizes these morning pres for his departed. so the bicycle on the way. when i heard the news of my husband's death, i felt like jumping from a cliff and ending my line all up. besides it for weeks,

i couldn't believe it to one of these, i still refused to accept that he was gone one moment and even now i sometimes feel like he might call me a coal. she knows will never come for no form a drive adjoining the russian army to pay off his dance. he barely got 2 weeks of training before they sent him to the front line. his death has left a deep voice in the family. his youngest daughter still believes that her father will return some day soon when my daughter has no idea and we haven't told to put a lightning, she keeps saying his photos and asks us to call him when sometimes she one does why her father stopped calling us about what she cries a lot about what's going on with the new also feels devastated. the family do not

even know whether they will get his body in for a profit. battery on the home reminds her about her door where she has decades worth of memories before he left for russia. there is such loneliness without him. i feel his absence. that's it. i'm missing terribly to i never. now she is burdened with a data of $6000.00 euros that by her to a paid to the agent who facilitated his journey to rush out. across nicole, hundreds of net police families have similar stories them and they're either trapped in the wall or consent dent. others are out of contact with that families of many of the dead, unaltered town home and the voters the top or on the back. ok, related like this. among them. so mine

is the lucky one who escaped the russian army. he paid 3000 euros to a russian agents who helped him leave the country. today to man is this temple to thank god for saving his life in a war a well the way he suffers from night mass and his d. p. traumatized by warranty, experienced on the front lines in ukraine. nobody and nobody cares about the dead and russia to 90 the life of the injured depends upon the seriousness of the wound today of what that of treatment that's possible we rescued them was that they noticed otherwise we were instructed to shoot the seriously injured soldiers on site they needed to then they very much, we don't say such events made him change his mind about the officers to having 3

months in the russian army. su, mounted not to receive the promise on the range of 2000 to us dollars a month since his return, he has been jobless. desperate to find walk, he is ready to walk as a daily wage. they may, so does he ask bishop, keep up a walk that is told there is no work for him. disappointed to mind, go shop to shop. but it is not a lucky day for him. finding work is very hard. the opponent is consistently ranked as one of the poorest countries in the world. the economic and employment situation is dia, of the at least $5000000.00 people walk outside the country, mostly as migrant labor, as many

a willing to take risky options. like joining brushes on me as a foreign find to this police unit is tasked with stopping the constant flow of net police man. from joining the russian forces, police commission of blue pen country and his men are cracking down on recruitment agencies and brokers who profit from sending men off to the war. to do it, when he was doing this agent surface waving meant to join the russian army by promising them better opportunities. recently, they have arrested 20 and that police nationals on charges of fraud and human trafficking. they found this stash of cash pond spots and the legal documents full commission of o. pend, these latest arrests have been an eye opener. is concerned about the role of

natalie as traffic is walking abroad. found different layers like in india, even in the u. a. and defend, and is that working the time to provide them the presentations? i am be any need any assistance they need it? like sometimes the, the flight from cassandra to the way or any other kinds of good. and there was good to be. so from there, that kind of, you know, the interesting part we found during the investigation despite police rates and mounting risks, many young man still want to go. sonya is ready to join the russian army. every day he spends hours surfing take, talk videos, the glamorize natalie soldiers in russia for him joining the russian army is a ticket to a better life. but all that he needs is to convince his reluctant mother.

she is warrant that he may become another casualty in russia's wall above the coal was also an employee to you and then left for russia. he is in big trouble now. and now you also want to join the russian army. please don't go. i know we can't support you financially. i know we are entirely vulnerable. but soon as she does not mind taking this risk of the others, he too is attracted to the russian governments promise of a good salary and citizenship in return for military service. where i don't have any money from, i knew i thought the best option would be to go to russian. i was unable to. sometimes you need to take risk to get ahead in life for the field without money. we can't do anything in this world. i know what items are up, this is why i want to leave and join the russian forces. the police have

a light and unable to finish works as a pump time pick up, ride and cut mine to earning 15 euros a day. with this money, he struggles to support his aging parents. today he's visiting base recruitment agency that sends migrant workers abroad for jobs. so in issues hoping they might be able to help of the owners might be lost. ya see if they can help him to join the russian army. but he is told, the agency does not send people to russia. for soonish, it was a disappointing outcome of a pop out of the pop out of the way the russian army pays a lot more than being a migrant worker and guitar to buy. but this is why people choose the russian army and why to want to go for it on the phone because of the danger out there. the recruitment agency now denies sending used to russia. the government has also been

going there. and then box soonish does not want to work on a construction site in content is hunts for recruitment agencies and bro, cuz continues nipple as opposed rushes. invasion of ukraine in the u. n. the government is urging its citizens to not take part in the wall. that police palma, foreign minister, nadia and percussion sold who was in office until march told d w. he has been negotiating with his russian counter pound on this issue by city. again that's i would like to express my concern about the enlistment of our citizens, the armed forces of a nation with which we like an official packed or treated to do so. nobody can leila. later improvements over citizens implies that it happens with the knowledge of the russian government. when k acknowledgement could be that the system level.

despite the efforts taken by the police government, nothing has changed. in cut mondo social campaign, a key to upon doughty has taken the battle to the streets. today she is joined by aggrieved families who demand justice for their loved ones possible. here she is helping them prepare legal documents for the return of the man. the do you have documents with your husband joining the russian army? if you have get the old printed, we need to submit them today. the new is also joining this much. she has travelled from a village to the capital to them on the remains of her husband's power. not the dispatcher is heading towards the russian embassy and they all stopped by the police. no one is willing to engage with them all except that documents
