This is the vice I remember watching ~10 years ago. I want more solid journalism with integrity as it's centerpiece.

The part where that lawyer from CAR spoke up about killings and then immediately rescinded his comment was tense.

Wagner wasnt called in "after the russian military was depleated". Wagner was among the very first wave that went into Ukraine

When Vitalii is pissed, he switched from English to French

This brings me back to the Vice of 10 years ago. Fantastic work.

I swear every other video I hear people saying this is the old vice I missed, but to me their documentaries about foreign conflicts and war zones has always been consistently good. Sure they dabbled in weird videos about influencers in LA, but none of their serious reporters associate with their buzzfeed style videos. An organization like vice has many styles and fields of reporting without much overlap, so that’s why quality can vary so severely.

I love those longer, deeper researched reports from VICE. You do good, VICE!

The weapons manufacturers having that convo not realizing that convo was gonna get translated in post production is killing me😂

Extremely well made. It’s these types of reports that put Vice above the rest. Incredible you could get embedded with Wagner Africa. I have so much respect for the reporter not letting up on hard hitting questions, knowing it very much put her in danger. And to me it looks like that Wagner commander would not have a problem personally erasing her. She is Fearless.

This is the VICE style I fell in love with almost a decade ago! I’m sure thousands of people would agree. I love how there is no use of left or right western political biases that we all see in other documentaries for similar global issues. This is raw, talented journalism, amazing editing and storytelling, and most of all - taking risks in conflict areas to tell a powerful story. Amazing work! 👏

Vice PLEASE go back to making this kind of content! Incredible geopolitical content that cannot be found anywhere else. I'd pay for a constant stream of this.

Also anyone got an ID on Col. Kiri's fit? 👀
