Vice News journalist Lucy Kafanov traveled to Russia to learn about soldiers who fought in Ukraine, and she found graves and families of fallen soldiers willing to talk with her about Russia's "ghost war."

In this emotional documentary, the truth is revealed about a war the Kremlin denies is even happening.
