With Donald Trump vowing to end the brutal war in Ukraine, Four Corners travels to the front line to investigate: Is peace even possible?
With extraordinary access just a kilometre from Russian positions, reporter Mark Willacy watches from an underground bunker as an elite Ukrainian drone unit hunts and kills enemy soldiers in real-time.
He also speaks with Ukraine’s political leaders about whether Trump can broker a “just peace” with the man who started it all — Russian President Vladimir Putin.
As the war’s third anniversary looms, Four Corners takes viewers to the battlefield, where Russia is throwing everything, it has at Ukraine in relentless, suicidal waves — what Ukrainian soldiers grimly call “meatwaves”.
