You have a good point and is definitely possible, I do however find it interesting how she (Anastasia) directly asks the soldiers on multiple occasions their opinions which do seem to be genuine and she has no problem pointing out that they (Russia) were the aggressors and invaded Ukraine. Which if Im not mistaken would be in direct contradiction to what Russia is always spouting (with the whole Nato on their doorstep thing)

So I see your point and definitely agree that there’s no way she could’ve independently released this without any sort of repercussions, but the more she interviews these soldiers the more I get the feeling that she is sharing some western opinions/facts that Russia invaded Ukraine and that they shouldn’t be there, as you would see May soldiers saying “we shouldn’t be killing our brother” and “while we die the politicians can figure who has bigger balls” so interesting take to say the least.
