BORIS JOHNSON: INTO THE ‘KILL ZONE ‘w/t

Quietly entering the country so as not to draw attention to himself, Boris travels beyond Kyiv in a 72-hour unprotected journey to the front line ‘kill zone’ near Zaporizhzhia, where drones, artillery and the realities of modern warfare quickly replace diplomacy and political rhetoric.

Boris witnesses the realities of modern war at close range. Embedded with Ukrainian soldiers, he visits shattered villages, a frontline chapel, secret drone bases and even a makeshift bomb factory hidden inside abandoned cottages, and shelters in an under-siege eighth story flat during a missile strike.

He joins mobile gun teams and Kyiv’s volunteer air defenders for a terrifying and freezing night shift protecting the capital from Russian drone attacks. With the part-time soldiers of the 112th Territorial Defence Brigade, he witnesses how mobile gun teams armed with heavy machine guns hunt drones in the night sky.
