In March 2014, following the Ukrainian Euromaidan revolution, Russia annexed the Crimean peninsula setting off a chain of events that lead to a bloody and destructive war in the east of the country between Ukrainian government forces and Russian-backed separatists. Over 9,000 people have been killed and over a million displaced by the fighting and whilst there is technically a ceasefire, the fighting continues with no serious end in sight. Vice News has covered the conflict from the start and produced 111 dispatches of which I produced and presented over 20.
