The standoff between pro-Russia forces and Ukrainian troops continues on the outskirts of the rebel stronghold of Sloviansk in eastern Ukraine. But with heavier fighting escalating over the last few days, many residents are braving checkpoints and gunfire to flee the area for safer parts of the country. VICE News correspondent Simon Ostrovsky traveled to a checkpoint bordering Sloviansk and spoke to people leaving their homes behind as shots rang out in the background. None of these residents knows when they'll be able to return.

This is by far the cleanest footage I've seen of DayZ.
Thank you for that x'D
Haha
So Fascinating to rewatch what happened 8 years ago with pure unbiased media footage of the beginning of the Ukrainian civil war and the later Broader Russo-Ukrianian War.
This was Vice before it went full woke.
Vice is heavily biased on certain conflicts nowadays especially this one
@@ssglbc1875 Hmmmmmm I wonnnddeerrrr whyyyyyyyy
No. It's very biased.
Yet 9 years later you can stfu about vice bias. Because this happened.
Good to see Simon back at it again...
Andddddd he’s gone
Spreading BS (FAKE) news!
simon is the best! i dig his vibe. he speaks the language, isn't afraid to get into dicey situations, and still gets a lot of good interviews with people
Jake So, I speak the language. He and Vice are spinning their narrative, not exactly telling the whole but leaving veryImportant facts out of their reporting on purpose. Also, he’s clearly out of his element on that landscape.
a master of propaganda
That little boys face,
I hope he is grown up safe and sound!!
2:23 i think this man deserves most epic shirt worn in a conflict award.
Wow, it's been a whole week. Perhaps I'm impatient, but there is a whole lot going on over there right now and we're lacking the best source for updates. Chop, chop!
A well done series! I'm always checking for updates.
2:00 that subaru
Henry and Simon doing a fantastic job. Best of luck!
Thank you Vice news for keeping us updated on what's happening in Ukraine. These truly help in understanding what's going on in an extremely complicated situation.
Really glad to see Simon Ostrovsky back in the field. There seems no better journalist for this job.
It seems like after Simon's return he's preferred to stay back and cover domestic affairs while the other guy covers combat and military operations. Is that going to be a recurring theme, or has it just been that way coincidentally? I could totally see Simon not wanting to go back into danger after what he's been through.
It's safer for him to stay with friendly troops rather than wondering alone in donetsk with the camera guy before pro russians might recodnize him and arrest him
Fox100cool Well yes, of course. I'm just wondering if he actually specifically decided to do that, or if he just hasn't had the chance to get into anymore tricky situations yet. It would be completely understandable for him not to, I'm just wondering whether it's been a conscious decision, and if maybe one of the terms of his return was that he would be kept by VICE relatively out of danger. Either way I'm fine with it. I like that there are two journalists on the job now because they can cover far more and it adds some nice variation. Plus I like the other guy quite a bit, but I noticed other people may not share that sentiment.
Henry Livingston seems to be doing the coverage of the rebels. I guess they don't recognize him yet.
Leelee He seems to be received a little better than Simon for some reason. I think in some videos I detected a little bit of hostility and resentment in Simon's voice when he talked to people who bossed around or mishandled him, and so he may sometimes come off as rude or abrasive. I don't speak Russian or Ukrainian so obviously my judgement isn't sound, but that could have something to do with it. Henry seems a little more open to being pushed around, and far more cautious than Simon, and also a little bit less intimidating. But anyway, none of that will matter when it comes to shooting. We'll just have to see what happens in the future.
Just wondering where these troops right now,maybe some of them are dead, wounded or taken prisoners
Outskirts not full army troops they probably survived all of it because They got a withdrawal order.
I love how they call them "terrorists"..... How brainwashed do you have to be?
***** you're a fool if you treat the guardian seriously, that just undermines any credibility
It's not brainwashing, it's brand manipulation. Rebels are alot more sympathetic and credible than "terrorists". People like rebels, people aspire to be rebels, but people don't like terrorists, and the more you say it, the more people believe it.
***** You are exactly right - RT and lifenew have waaay more credibility.
XpeH BaM Shadowmask8 had a good comment.
Why did you have to ruin it with "RT"
This isn't even... just... no.
Joe Navarra Point to one false report by RT? They are one of a very few sources of reliable info from the region.
Thank you vice for these extraordinary videos from the ukraine.
since you are not tied to any political boundaries, i trust you more than news on regular tv and radio
Well those days are long gone!
Simon is the MAN! He should get a great award for this series. The man is GUTSY.
00:58 better roll up the windows
"We are leaving sloviansk"
"Why?"
"Because of the shooting."
Thats gotta be the dumbest question ever asked.
GO UKRAINE!
***** he said on the daily show that he didnt think it was that good too
2:14 that dudes shirt it too legit
''it's battle against Russia backed rebels''. Said while looking directly at supplies provided from America.
Principles apply both ways folks.
*****
I must've missed the part where they showed Russian supplied arms.
*****
Explain to you? I thought you already knew.
If you have no proof, no evidence only an opinion, then you don't really know. Do you?
I'm not saying Russian arms and equipment isn't being supplied into the former Ukraine, I am saying that I'm not gullible enough to say for sure without anything to back it up.
Hahahahahahahhahahaahahahahhaahahahahah I don't know why but i find this pathetic comment hilarious, "oh noes merica gave them food! down with the big bad west"
TopShelfization Yeah, you laugh now, but if this was showing rebels eating Russian MRE's you'd be doing the same.
TopShelfization
Irony is lost on you.
So much anti-American sediments here. I fail to see how pro-Russian journalism should be taken any more seriously than this, but hey.. gotta pick a side I guess.
***** Russia is just getting back what was his. What is the Russian propaganda? Can you elaborate? And no one can stop Russia. Not even US. The US are scared since Russia tested the Tsar bomba. They wont do shit. They can just watch what happens unless it gets reallly out of hands. If it gets out of hands and Russia crosses the limit, which I expect it will, then welcome world war 3. Thermonuclear war. They havent made the nuclear warheads to keep in a museum. Someday they will be used and that day is not far.
***** Why do they defend themselfs in south east? i just dont get it, is it because the majority want to join russia and not eu is that why?
turbomazdazmaj After Ukrainian anti-corruption revolution Putin is scared same might happen to him in Russia, so he by all means destabilises situation in Ukraine, sends in troops and weapons, annexes Crimea, sends mercenaries to Ukrainian east, and Russian propaganda TV stations show it as a civil war between Ukrainians, so the Russian people see Mr Putin as the next messiah and not a deeply corrupted criminal. Order and prosperity in Ukraine would mean the end to Putler's regime
upi tanets Dont think anyone can stop putin and if they do he will take them with him
Scramblieggs : who brings provocation to the russian border : US with NATO troups. Who brought chaos in Ukraine : US with Victoria Nulland. So shut your stincky mouth. You catch ?
you should blur the plates Vice
Nice to see Simon again.
So many russian shills commenting on this channel.
start marking their comments as spam.
And you are?
They're just putin bots.
American hate comments. We have nothing to do with this. Good luck Ukraine.
Good job Simon
hey guys . part 45 its not on the playlist. nice clips . gj guys
No dispatch 46? it's been a week. RIP most likely to Ostrovksy
***** I agree.. I hope that's the case.. Ostrovsky is the best journalist I know.
no new dispatches because what is happening now would show ukrainian army on a bad side, so they are waiting for separatists to do something bad to report on that
Ostrovsky is in Kiev now.
At new President stepping-in :)
rodich75 just found out funny fact about parts of presidents speech: the first couple of sentences are just a copy paste from Tymoshenko speech of 2013 =) Lazy bastards can't even write something original for inauguration
Simon Ostrovsky is stll alive??
Ukraine
Update please?? Waiting for a new one..!!
Glad they're starting to fight back. Simon Ostrovsky is a fantastic journalist.
anyone else happy that simon is back?
Slava Ukraine!
***** sorry, Uncle Ben's, but the U.S.A and Russia soon will become Ukrainian colony
kornitsa
What?
хероям сала
in Sirya mercenaries are shouting "Allah Akbar", but these "Slava Ukraine!" Realy? Ukraine is no more...a minute of silence of Ukraine
***** Hehe, now you're the unwitting victim of propaganda.
When are we gonna see more news on this?
Where's the next episode?!
When's the next one coming out?! I NEED MY UKRAINE NEWS FIX! COME ON!
You got a ton now
God bless them and Ukraine
Good to show both sides, but I would have liked to see the damage from the shelling, but I don't think vice will even talk about it, just stay at this checkpoint for another few dispatches.
love the zach galifanakis shirt on the dude in the subaru
Interesting.
simons back in ukraine? didnt know!. nice
"(Dispatch 45)" is missing from the title
the birds chirping makes the video B E A Utiful
ct win
I wish ukrain luck
slava putin
2:00 lol at the fashion sense of the disembarking Subaru people
And bless them for extricating their child from danger.
When is a new one coming comon guys ur doing so good
This Ukrainian solders are Heroes. God bless you guys!!!
Did you notice? A guy speaking with american accent in ukrop army...
Did you notice? English is a first international language and studied in Ukraine too.
Did you notice? A guy speaking lousy English with heavy Ukrainian accent...
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE STUPIDTY OF IDIOTS! :D
Did you notice? Joe Biden sitting in the seat of ex-Ukraine president?
When is the next dispatch? Great news!
At least someone finally told him how wear his kevlar right.
When he asks people in cars about whats going on in Slavyansk, they all talk about shelling and bombings but do not mention that it is all coming from ukranian army. It is either gets cut out or he askes them to skip this part before filming or they are just scared to mention it being surrounded by armed juntas militia
russia pumped in wagner fighters and armed them to the teeth and invaded ukraine took over its land . is ukraine supposed to give up its land or fight ? if russia was invaded and it fought back would it be their fault ? your logic sucks
@@apollo-eu4fk Remove your tinfoil hat please
I thought that was obvious anyways
Yes, the majority of the population fled to the pro-Russian side.
I feel really sorry for these soldiers no wonder people donated money to buy them basic equipment like body armour and Kevlar helmets but Kiev really needs to invest in some new basic equipment preferably not Russian made some of these soldiers don't even have boots or matching camouflage clothing.
GO HEAD AND DONATE TO PRO - RUSSIAN PPL NOT THE FUCKING FASCIST GOVERNMENT FUCKING IDOITS
Pickleman OH SHIT THEY STARTED USING CAPS LOCK THIS IS GETTING SERIOUS
o o o and here we have it , " preferably not Russian made " why's that ? because the USA doesnt profit ? russian gear is pretty good and about 1/3 of the cost of "western" gear so chances of them choosing the USA over russia or making it them self is unlikely
***** business is business america sold weapons to many of its enemys
George West Russian made equipment is decent but isn't favourable in my mind and to be honest I am not American,I am British and I am saying if Ukraine want to annoy Russia, then why not buy there equipment off Europe instead of turning to Russia and helping their economy.
The first thing that struck me from all of this is that guys amazing t shirt at 2:20...
Why are you leaving?
That question is just as fkn ridiculous as the reporters chin
Glory to Ukraine!
I love how some of the pro-Russians in here immediately assume that the shelling of the residential areas must have been caused by the Ukrainian military when we also know that the separatists have mortars as well...
Саймон, спасибо за огромный труд, и за максимально объективное освещение событий. Лучи добра.
The Spaghetti w/ Beef Sauce MRE is actually pretty good. I can't remember if it had Skittles in it or not.
crazy to look back on all this and know its still going on. Slava Ukraine
@thecazigan28 Slava russia
Slava residents of eastern Ukraine who want independence
Such a one-sided news.
Simon, give us both sides of the stories!!
Considering that the Eastern rebels enjoy kidnapping journalists and OSCE members I wouldn't pay too much attention to the fact that he is often reporting from an Ukrainian checkpoint instead of a Russian one.
He has already been kidnapped and beaten up by the seperatists, so i don't judge him when he prefers the ukranian side
So? If you are a journalist you must show both sides of the news..
If you are a journalist in a war zone you can expect that to happen.. And if he is scared of that, he must find another job.. Lol.
He has already reported about them, and there he showed how brave he is, he didn't succumb to the seperatist's threats, but i don't want him to risk his life for a online news site, the rebels already know him and it is possible that they will take him as a hostage again, so just shut the fuck up :D , there is another vice news reporter, just recently he showed the rebels' point of view
He always showed preference in his videos to one side.😏😤
What has happened for Simon, we haven't heard about him in six days?
All these comments have been so serious and dark but can we just notice this dudes shirt at 2:12 I mean this dude is chilling in a war torn country but still rocking that young pug shirt like a player
Long live independent Ukraine
Ask if they're pro-Russian. Tell them to go to Russia,
VICE News 3:45 early 90s nostalgia
Impreza @1:55 hope it was an WRX STI :)
something seems odd about the guy at 1:31 he doesnt seem to "fit in " with the other troops and the way he describes them as "they" rather than "we" , he may be special forces of some kind but i have a feeling he isnt from Ukraine ....
Volunteers from other countries fight in Ukraine
People saying that Russia has its full right to support the seperatists since the US is also supporting Ukraine are basically admitting the fact that Russia is involved in this war already. Countries who are attempting to suppress armed rebellion has a right to request for assistance from other sovereign nations. In fact, US and NATO is only supporting the Ukrainians with rations, training, and transportations. Nothing lethal. While Russia is sending in tanks, Grads, Buks, Uragans, guns and ammunitions for the seperatists.
Right. They're sending everything, including troops.
Cockpit bombs, Hamer, new types of guns and cash finances ....... that's what the US delivers Ukraine. Not only soldering, but also a weapon .....
Hmm, that's not entirely true anymore. The United States provided Ukraine with Javelin missile launch systems in 2018. Apart from that it seems the only country that has send lethal aid to Ukraine is brave Lithuania. 😂
Stay safe!
Ahaha! "Our troops are infamous here" )))
He obviously has been in BERKUT squad :)
glory to Ukraine
Just a Robot hey it’s just a robot, a few years late :/
Glory hole

simon looks so funny looking around inside the apc at 6 seconds. the night before he was detained and left in the middle of a field at night
I like this having 2 people over there now.
Ukrainian occupants...
Only Novorossia! Only Victory!
Это мой город! Слава Украине! Героям слава!
Слава тарифам кенгуруРейха
Soon you nazi ukrops will be destroyed, and Europe will be free of your nazi ideologies.
Simons back!
That Subaru doe! 2:00
А парни то на блок посту молодцы, уже себе и крест на общую могилу притащили :) всех их среди мешков и похоронят.
1:35 Certainly not ukranian or russian... Probably European.
Loved the ending.. Woman on a bike just strolling through..
I see no escalation here from the previous dispatch
Russian bots attack VICE.
Don't ask to their stupid comments, they will get money for that.
i don't know why vice have so much interest in ukraine.
if they want war. just go syria and produce unlimited syrian war dispatch
they know what is going to happen in Syria, killing etc..
It's like going to the worst parts in Africa they always get help and things but it seems that people don't want to change they like getting help and wen they don't get help they cry.! it's always the same shit so why even waste our money in people who don't want to change.
I think its the Russia involvement that has VICE doing its coverage. Russia can cause this issue to become much larger then what is happening in Syria. Personally think Russia has gotten what it wanted (Crimea) and is done with this but who knows.
They have an interest in any conflict, or any story that isnt being covered my the main stream media. They're doing pieces on Syria aswell, you should check out their channels and website.
because it is war started by the usa and eu
*****
They did, all they could find that US trained some rebels in Jordan, but it doesnt seem at all that they arming any of them or helping on the ground.
I like that vice look at both sides the separatist and the soldiers. This seems more balanced reporting to me where I can see the context of each side
A terrifying, complex and bleak ordeal.
world would be a nice place without America
or russia.
Anyone with a modicum of intelligence is able to work out where the blame lies for the current crisis in Ukraine. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows which country is the most belligerent on the planet, a country that spends more on defence than the combined spending of all the other nations on earth; a country with around 900 military bases scattered around the globe, situated in 130 different countries; a country that since the end of World War 2 has overthrown 50 governments, some of which were democracies.
@@roninset Because Russia is totally smelling like roses
Blood for the blood god!
not even bluring licence plates and random ppls faces

Hope Simon Ostrovsky knows to be careful with that PACA and watch out so that those ceramic plates don't take any unnecessary hard whacks.
Слава Україні!
Україна вже померла.
Придуркам слава!!!
Хероям в Срало!
i may be english but i back ukraine all the way
It's been two days upload something new "VICE NEWS"
Full scale war is going on
The soldier:why are you leaving
Simon is such a parasite. He doesn't know the meaning of impartial/objective. Your view of this situation is too slanted for credible journalism.
3:45 just casually rollin pumas for kicks MadLad
Come on guys we are due for an update! Waiting for dispatch 46
