CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: The shivering soldiers with packs and rifles could be brothers of the men fighting 110 years ago.
The scorched, bomb-blasted Kupyansk forest in east Ukraine resembles the shattered landscape of World War I. So do the trenches and dugouts, with steps dug into the frozen mud.
Much of film-maker Jamie Roberts's shocking, gripping documentary was shot from the air. One sequence was taken from the video feed of a drone patrolling a snow-covered path on the edge of the forest, close to a vital railway line. Two Russian soldiers emerged from the woods. The drone hovered and dropped its payload of high-explosive shrapnel bombs. Both men were blown to the ground. One stayed motionless, the other limped away. The drone pilot compared it to a morning's fishing, and confessed he found killing Russians addictive. They were less than human to him, he said — more like orcs, the foul-smelling foot soldiers from the books of J.R.R. Tolkien.
Even more distressing was the bodycam footage as he dragged wounded comrades away from the shelling. Only one of the 99 was female, a medic called Natalia. She was a vet, a fact that seemed to delight the men. One chap old enough to be her father grinned as she bandaged him: 'I'm an old man, I will heal like a dog.'
