The commanders words, spoken with gentleness and calm, had me tearing up. Fighting now so their children can have peace tomorrow. Hoping for peace for others and no war on their lands. This is truly a nation of heroes. Slava Ukraine.
People calling for peace by stopping arm deliveries to Ukraine, are just saying lets give Ukrainians to those monsters. I would like to see these people living with their children under Russian rule.
That is complete bulldroppings. They could have peace today and in the future if the Ukraine government wanted - if their masters in Washington and London wanted. Peace is the last thing the people in charge want. This was is for profit, and the longer it goes, the richer they get. Peace sells, but who's buying?
But Ukraine started the war. Remember the words of Poroshenko, who spoke about the residents of Donbass: - "We will have a job - they don't. We will have support for children and pensioners - they don't. Our children will go to schools and kindergartens - their children will sit in basements. Here This is how we will win this war." Do you call these people a "nation of heroes"?
yes, and the headline is especially humorous. The "Defenders of Donbass", who speak Ukrainian (from 2:50)! Hilarious! The guys are obviously from Galicia, just as the narrator is Scottish in every sound he utters. It takes the ignorance of the outside masses to buy this nonsense. Nobody who was born and grew up in Donbass ever spoke Ukrainian! That is unless one inhabits the fantasy world invented by BBC and CNN. And the citizens of the city of Donetsk are naturally, acc. to BBC, invaders of Donbass?! As usual, the censors of this venerable broadcaster will bowdlerise this post!
This was possibly the most moving piece of journalism I've seen. I'm filled with rage when I see 22 year old Dima, his kind eyes, and what he's going through.
So brutal and to the bone... I am completely touched and speechless. 22 year old Dima, by the look of his face, has a great heart and warm look in his eyes. Yet, he has scars that he will carry for the rest of his life. If he survives. And the commander, his pain being overshadowed by the purpose of his mission. It is unbelievable this is happening in 21st century, in a civilized and privilleged part of the world. Slava Ukraini and prayers (though I am atheist) from the Czech Republic. We are by your side and one day, we will thank you for all the sacrifice.
Seeing Dima made me tear up. I’m 22, so is he. He should be at home with his partner or at university, enjoying his life, doing whatever it is he did before the war. It makes me feel wrong that I can sit here in australia safely without fear of my life or my families or my girlfriends. I know prayers don’t do much but it’s the only piece of mind you have sometimes in these situations. I hope one day to make a different to the world and aide men like dima and help Ukraine.

No, it's right that you live a free and happy life. And he should have the same opportunity. And will have when we win.

I am from Austria. I often went to the Donbass with an organisation to bring food, medical supplies and clothes there. I often think about what would happen if it were my family. Yes, electricity and heating costs have risen very sharply in our country, but no one's life is threatened. It fills me with great pain when I hear people in Europe say we should not supply weapons. Then I always think of the comrades in Ukraine who risk their lives every day for their freedom and we sit in Europe and worry about electricity prices. This is out of proportion. The experiences and impressions in the frontline change you a lot. The stories of the people on the ground very often touched me emotionally. It is hard to share your thoughts with someone who has not experienced it. Many people just don't understand. I wish I could do more. I hope that we will soon be able to bring relief supplies to the Donbass again.
What a taste of what this horrible war feels like, Had me in tears a couple times..That old lady in the school bunker talking about her husband hit me hard...I really wish the Ukrainians are able to conclude this war on their terms in the near future and put an end to this senseless death, suffering and destruction...God Speed...

I don't usually comment much on videos, but this was strong, so I felt like I had to! Just the look on that kid's face hit me hard. Someone so young will forever be shaped by war. Truly inspiring how strong they are, and an eye-opener for all of us. War is primitive, set off by weak leaders. The brave ones have to carry the heavy burden. Very nice reporting and good insight. Hope everyone got out safely! Glory to Ukraine!
This war of Putin thinking he could get away with invading Ukraine and committing genocide lays directly on KKK member and communist criminally corrupted Biden and the KKK communist democrats with showing the world they are not just weak, but Biden can be bought and owned by evil tyrants as is known Putin was paying Biden in payments $3.5 million then came the $286 Million from the Kremlin for special favors. Putin attacked Ukraine in 2014 for the same reason seeing Biden and Obama are corrupted and weak Putin knew it was a green light to attack Ukraine.
If there was a god, we would have no reason to bless these brave men...All we really have are politician who are willing to sacrifice people for their ego.
These Ukrainians are so brave. They just want to leave free and in peace. Wars are not won with thoughts and prayers though. Urge your governments to send every bit of help they can to Ukraine. Ukrainians are paying for this war with their lives, we are merely giving money and equipment. Hats off to the reporter Quentin Somerville for this amazing reporting.
Thank you for this, you captured the spirit and essence of why they are fighting. So many heroes in every trench, every tank. Ukraine is an amazing country and has amazing people. I look forward to seeing what they become after this Russian evil is over. Slava Ukraine.
One of the strongest videos I've even seen . So sad and I wish the Ukrainian people the very best .. I'm so glad the rest of the world is helping out but I wish it ends ..
Ukrianians are not fighting for freedom or for their children's future. They have been duped into fighting against Russia who was once their big brother and fellow Soviet Union by the evil US and western countries. Ukrianians had been made suckers by the US. Ukriane was the most advance country in the Soviet Union!.
The Ukrainians are the ones fighting the people of the Donbass who want to be part of Russia. The BBC is gaslighting people into thinking that the people of the Donbass are fighting Russia, when in fact they are fighting Ukraine.
I feel for them with all my heart! My mom helped remove street signs as the soviets were "liberating" Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1968. The foot soldiers didn't even know which country they were in and why the population was so unfriendly to them. Interestingly, they were amazed at the high standard of living in Czechoslovakia... Haven't we heard that everytime the Russians crossed their borders?
When the Soviets invaded Germany in 1945 they couldn't believe that German farmers lived as well as they did. The were so enraged by the standard of living in Western Europe that they took it out on the civilians. Extra doses of robbery and rape.
the tank has a white cross, and is hence a peacekeeping mission UN tank and is not used for combat. hence this is a staged propaganda video using a UN borrowed disaster mission vehicle

Unbelievable coverage of a great and tragic moment in history. Glory to the Ukrainian defenders and those who support them! I just hope the country can recovery after this.
I just wish the crew in the trench to get home to their families safely. Mitya, his commander and all Ukrainian defenders deserve a life in peace. 🇭🇷 ❤️ 🇺🇦
Wait, why defenders of Donbass attacking Donetsk- «capital” of Donbass since 2014? Not firing against militaries but just bombing the city with civilians?
Thank you so much for showing the world what is happening here in Ukraine! You're risking your lives broadcasting what we're dealing with. You are real heroes! Each of you, true friends of our people and the free world. Thank you and kudos. From Zaporozhye, Ukraine
BBS are you sure that you are showing the defenders of Donbass? And not those who bombed the Donbas for 8 years. I'm shocked how people are being scammed.
I have a friend in Spain who told me about the men who are being taken there with war wounds and the terrible circumstances they face. They are men like these ones, kids, fathers and sons of someone. They are treated and given support and I feel there is no enough amount of help we can give them, they deserve it all. They are fighting for their right to exist and they are all heroes. Those words from the commander says it like it is, "I hope there is no war on their land', he knows what he's talking about. To those who brought this war and all that suffering, be prepared, you won't find a place to hide.
Ahh yes, Spain, that bastion of historic social justice, with not a shred of previous conquest on its books, the darlings of colonial power....they are in no position to lecture on the treatment of non nationionals at home or on foreign soils....how can you simply apply values to suit your position, that completely disregard a nations history of conquest, destruction, pillaging and war mongering....bizarre logic !
Wounded Ukraine soldiers are also in The Netherlands, with the best care we can give them. Along with the Ukraine soldiers we train at our best capabilities to make them ready for the war. Hopefully this training along with US/EU supplied weapons and Nato intel makes the difference.
@@DVSONENL We should be sending them everything they need. If they had the right weapons on day one even 15 percent of what Russia has they would have completely wiped the Russian military out.

Think if the Ukraine had a proper air force then, any air defenses proper armor any artillery and missiles especially cruise missiles. They had the entire Russian military reeling with 8 HIMARS with rockets that only go 80km. We should have given then 300 HIMARS with 300km missiles. They would have wiped the Russians out.

You have country after country not only praying for your victory, but there also dam proud of you guys and have earned an immershiable amount of respect. All of Ukraine is in our prayers and were confident your proud country will prevail.
Ukraine is sure to win in this conflict, because even the fight for Bakhmut, which Russia considered a priority goal, did not bring Russia victories, the Ukrainian army defended the city, and now that Russia has a shortage of resources, Ukrainian defenders will begin to liberate the city
@Yura Stanilayev yes there are native Ukrainians in Ukraine, there are also Ukrainians with Romanian, Armenian, Tatar, Polish, Jewish, Hungarian, Georgian, and Armenian roots. They all speak Russian.

I feel bad for all of them but especially Dima, he looked particularly rough, I hope there’s a ton of therapy available after all this is done, I can’t imagine the level of PTSD the whole country is going to experience
It's three generations completely traumatised. That sort of thing can take centuries to fully heal. Just look at the Russians using 100 year old maps as justification for war. Because they suffered back then and the memory still remains. Even though barely anyone who actually defended mother Russia from Hitler is still alive.

The USA has been giving the Ukraine the equipment that was left over from Iraq, and Afghanistan and the Russians can't defeat them, just imagine if they gave the Ukraine there most advanced equipment, they would start annexing Russian states.

Protect the future of generations even not yet born. Protect your family and homeland. The cost of freedom is high, but it is worth the price. Best wishes and prayers for the Ukrainian people.

I don't usually comment much on videos, but this was strong, so I felt like I had to! Just the look on that kid's face hit me hard. Someone so young will forever be shaped by war. Truly inspiring how strong they are, and an eye-opener for all of us. War is primitive, set off by weak leaders. The brave ones have to carry the heavy burden. Very nice reporting and good insight. Hope everyone got out safely! Glory to Ukraine!
This war of Putin thinking he could get away with invading Ukraine and committing genocide lays directly on KKK member and communist criminally corrupted Biden and the KKK communist democrats with showing the world they are not just weak, but Biden can be bought and owned by evil tyrants as is known Putin was paying Biden in payments $3.5 million then came the $286 Million from the Kremlin for special favors.
Putin attacked Ukraine in 2014 for the same reason seeing Biden and Obama are corrupted and weak Putin knew it was a green light to attack Ukraine.

Ukrianians are not fighting for freedom or for their children's future. They have been duped into fighting against Russia who was once their big brother and fellow Soviet Union by the evil US and western countries. Ukrianians had been made suckers by the US.

The Ukrainians are the ones fighting the people of the Donbass who want to be part of Russia. The BBC is gaslighting people into thinking that the people of the Donbass are fighting Russia, when in fact they are fighting Ukraine.

I feel for them with all my heart! My mom helped remove street signs as the soviets were "liberating" Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1968. The foot soldiers didn't even know which country they were in and why the population was so unfriendly to them. Interestingly, they were amazed at the high standard of living in Czechoslovakia... Haven't we heard that everytime the Russians crossed their borders?
When the Soviets invaded Germany in 1945 they couldn't believe that German farmers lived as well as they did. The were so enraged by the standard of living in Western Europe that they took it out on the civilians. Extra doses of robbery and rape.
Go Go Go Ukraine Army's don't give up still staying stong for your mother's land you're heroes God bless you All 💕💕
I'd like to pay my deepest respect to these brave and steadfast soldiers. They have shown us what real courage means.

I have a friend in Spain who told me about the men who are being taken there with war wounds and the terrible circumstances they face. They are men like these ones, kids, fathers and sons of someone. They are treated and given support and I feel there is no enough amount of help we can give them, they deserve it all. They are fighting for their right to exist and they are all heroes. Those words from the commander says it like it is, "I hope there is no war on their land', he knows what he's talking about. To those who brought this war and all that suffering, be prepared, you won't find a place to hide.
To halt the increasing death toll caused by Putin's aggression, a complete victory for Ukraine and a return to the 1991 borders are necessary.
Ahh yes, Spain, that bastion of historic social justice, with not a shred of previous conquest on its books, the darlings of colonial power....they are in no position to lecture on the treatment of non nationionals at home or on foreign soils....how can you simply apply values to suit your position, that completely disregard a nations history of conquest, destruction, pillaging and war mongering....bizarre logic !

Wounded Ukraine soldiers are also in The Netherlands, with the best care we can give them. Along with the Ukraine soldiers we train at our best capabilities to make them ready for the war. Hopefully this training along with US/EU supplied weapons and Nato intel makes the difference.

Think if the Ukraine had a proper air force then, any air defenses proper armor any artillery and missiles especially cruise missiles. They had the entire Russian military reeling with 8 HIMARS with rockets that only go 80km. We should have given then 300 HIMARS with 300km missiles. They would have wiped the Russians out.
