SENTENCED TO DEATH | My interview with Brahim Saadoune, former Ukrainian Marine & Mariupol Defender.

🎙️ Voices from the Front — with Brahim Saadoun & Shaun PinnerA powerful conversation between two former prisoners of war, united by survival and purpose. Shaun Pinner and Brahim Saadoun share their first-hand experiences of captivity under Russian forces, their reflections on resilience, and their mission to expose the truth behind Putin’s war. Honest, raw, and deeply human, this is a dialogue about endurance, justice, and what it means to keep fighting long after the battlefield.Brahim Saadoun — Still Stuck in MoroccoAfter surviving Russian captivity, my friend and fellow defender of Ukraine, Brahim Saadoun, now faces another kind of imprisonment, this time, a bureaucratic one.Despite his bravery and the ordeal he endured as a Ukrainian soldier taken prisoner by Russian forces, Brahim remains stuck in Morocco, unable to return to Ukraine or continue his education and advocacy. Political pressure, paperwork, and diplomatic silence have left him stranded, free, but not free to move forward.We talk about resilience, survival, and freedom a lot on this podcast. But Brahim’s situation is a reminder that freedom doesn’t always come when the war ends. Sometimes, it’s the system that holds you hostage.He deserves better. This is a public episode.
