The Slain Soldiers of Putin’s Covert War with Ukraine

27 Mar 2015  |  www.vice.com
Russian soldiers, including 20-year-old paratrooper Sergei Andrianov, have been killed in Ukraine despite the Kremlin's denial of direct involvement in the conflict. Families of deceased soldiers, like Andrianov's, receive little information about the circumstances of their deaths, with official documents vaguely citing a 'place of temporary dislocation.' The annexation of Crimea and the conflict in Eastern Ukraine have been accompanied by a surge in patriotic support for Putin in Russia, despite international condemnation and economic repercussions. The article details the experiences of soldiers' families and the local and international response to Russia's covert military operations.

Hanifa Saadat was a symbol of Afghanistan's potential: bright, passionate and determined to make her mark on the country she loved. She was studying to become a doctor, but a week before Afghanistan's presidential election, Hanifa was killed in a Taliban attack against a Kabul guesthouse. She died because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Lucy Kafanov brings the story of another innocent victim, caught in the crossfire of a war that wasn't hers, and another Afghan family shattered by the loss.

The Coffins of Russia's Ghost Soldiers In Ukraine Are Coming Home

03 Mar 2015  |  www.vice.com
Russian soldiers are dying in Ukraine despite the Kremlin's denial of military involvement. The story of Sergei Andrianov, a 20-year-old paratrooper whose body was returned to his family in a sealed coffin, highlights the secrecy and lack of acknowledgment for the soldiers' sacrifices. Families and human rights workers provide accounts that contradict the official narrative, revealing the toll of a war that doesn't officially exist. Despite international condemnation and evidence, many Russians do not believe their troops are fighting in Ukraine, and President Putin's approval ratings remain high. The families of Russia's dead and missing soldiers continue to seek answers and recognition for their loved ones.
