DONETSK – DPR

DONETSK – HOST: MARTIN TAMM ANDERSEN

In Donetsk, which has detached itself from Ukraine, Martin meets the pro-Russian separatist Voha, leader of the Sparta Battalion. Although he is only 24 years old, he has 1000 special forces under his command, and lives a dangerous life with protection around the clock after his former boss was murdered a year ago.

Martin also meets the soldier Sasha Dollar, who previously took part in Ukrainian X Factor but is now fighting on the side of the separatists.
