The Zero Line: Inside Russia’s War
9pm, BBC Two
The full extent of terror and horror experienced by people in Russia who oppose Putin’s war is detailed in a numbing documentary. All too aware of the risk of arrest – or an even worse punishment – soldiers and civilians give their testimonies in interviews secretly recorded last year. Two men explain the military torture, “meat storms” and summary executions they witnessed regularly on the frontline – with one recalling the moment he knew he had to escape, after being made an officer and ordered to send men to their deaths.
