John Sweeney has been in Kyiv since before Russia's invasion of Ukraine - reporting from on the ground. This episode he visits towns near Kyiv that were occupied by Russia, and records evidence of war crimes. But over 20 years ago, John was reporting on the very same crimes, and others committed against civilians, in Russia and Chechnya - under Vladimir Putin's leadership.
