Russians at War attempts to portray the daily lives of Russian soldiers but faces backlash for whitewashing Moscow's war crimes, lacking depth on their actions in Ukraine.
The documentary offers a sympathetic view of young soldiers struggling with their fight's purpose yet fails to address large-scale destruction and war crimes committed by Russia.
Director Trofimova claims to have seen no signs of war crimes during her time with soldiers, despite evidence from UN investigations documenting their actions in Ukraine.
Critics argue the film does not provide insight into mass destruction caused by Russian forces, concentrating instead on the personal struggles of individual soldiers.
