War in Ukraine: Jailed for helping Russia
Almost 2,000 Ukrainians have been convicted of collaborating with Moscow.
Almost 2,000 Ukrainians have been convicted of collaborating with Moscow since Russia's invasion of their country in 2022. But, the UN and others say the legislation under which they were sentenced is being applied too broadly, and fails to show empathy towards those living under occupation. As Kyiv focusses on a new front in the ground war inside Russia, we hear from eastern Ukraine, where some feel they have been unfairly targeted by their government.
The 91热爆's Ukraine correspondent, James Waterhouse, joins Caitr铆ona Perry to recount the testimonies of those accused of collaboration, and discuss how the Kursk incursion could be impacting the ongoing defence effort inside Ukraine.
