I’m Patrick Lancaster, reporting from near the front line of the Russia–Ukraine war.
In this report, I document a growing and controversial reality rarely shown in Western mainstream media: African fighters arriving in large numbers to fight on the side of Russia.
With unprecedented access to a Russian frontline hospital and direct interviews, you’ll hear from African volunteers themselves — I expose what the real situation is and why they came, how they were recruited, what roles they serve in, and how they are treated by the Russian military.
You will see how the reality is very deferent than what the Western main stream media says. They say they received training and are well taken care of and that the things in the western media are just lies and anti Russian propaganda
⚠️ This report contains real war-zone footage and firsthand testimony from active conflict areas.
