About this episode
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion nearly two years ago, most men have been banned from leaving Ukraine. That hasn’t stopped thousands from making illegal border crossings to escape.

How is Ukraine trying to stop them?

CBC’s Briar Stewart went to neighbouring Moldova to find answers.
