A shameful deception by German media.
A documentary by a German Government media channel paid actors to portray Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine, working to a prepared script to support their "investigative journalism" [read what they want their audience to believe]. The "journalists" instructed "the star" to say he was wounded in the fighting, even though he has never even been near an army and had to be instructed by the film crew in how to handle a gun.
Think about it: The people responsible for this "documentary" are guilty of deliberate deception against the very people they purport to inform.
It's not a game. Over 9000 people have lost their lives in the Ukraine conflict, and many observers consider that it is a most serious crisis which could ignite World War 3.
These "journalists" have forfeited their right to work in media. They are now included on Newsayer's "PERFIDITY: THE LIST".

Caught in the act: German state channel accused of faking Russian soldiers in Ukraine
A Russian television channel alleges a German state broadcaster hired actors to show Russian involvement in the eastern Ukraine conflict. The scandal centers around a Russian 'volunteer' paid by the German company to say he was fighting in Ukraine. The documentary film, entitled 'Strongman Putin' produced by ZDF, suggests many Russians are fighting for the separatists opposed to the Kiev government.
