On February 24, 2022, Russian forces crossed over the border into Ukraine with heavy weapons and armored vehicles.

This was stage one of Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

His plan was to quickly sweep across the country and take the capital

of Kiev. It didn't quite go like that though. Ukrainians fought back. They formed

volunteer militia forces, backed up the military and campaigned for better weapons from the

West. Three years into the war and campaigned for better weapons from the West.

Three years into the war and Russia is still nowhere near Kiev.

Thousands have died on the battlefield and civilian infrastructure is targeted every week, but still Ukraine is holding strong.

As is the case with any war, peculiar things began to happen after the invasion.

Anti-Putin, Russian saboteurs got to work inside Russia, the Kremlin sought to disrupt Europe through criminal gangs,

and black market weapons dealing went into overdrive. Something that caught my eye in particular though was a little bit stranger than all of this.

I noticed that there was a vast number of Russian oligarchs who started falling out of Windows.

If it wasn't Windows, it was some other clumsy or extremely violent death.

So I got in touch with my friend and colleague Sergei Slipchenko.

He's a Ukrainian journalist who speaks both Russian and English fluently.

We'd been on the ground working in Kiev the week of the invasion.

He agreed, as did many other journalists at the time, that this was really weird.

Together we dug deeper into the deaths of these rich Russian power brokers.

What we found was an unprecedented number of accidents, suicides and violent murders, sending

oligarchs to their grave.

Now, we don't particularly care if some Russian oligarch dies, but to understand these weird

Kremlin Inc deaths is to proper understand Putin and what he's up to.
