Reporter: so how do you feel about the destruction of war?
Ukraine man : Gestures at everything.
This reporter has the sensitivity of a rock.
Reporters sometimes ask idiotic questions," Do you for sorry for the Russian Soldiers who died",? He asks a Ukrainian victim..,.I think I would have smacked him upside the head for that question. God,.these poor people, please help them 🙏🥀
👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
agree
I’ve seen that white blanket with red roses wrapped on 2 other dead bodies in Ukraine, is that a weird coincidence?? I literally just saw it in a video yesterday & today in a BBC article called “collecting the dead in Bucha”. Are these all stories & pictures of the same guy/blanket/body?? Cuz once it was laying on the road, then just dug up behind a building & now laying in a basement 🤔
He wanted to give the man an opportunity to show his deserved disdain for Russians.

The Babusya at the end brought me to tears. I really hope she's okay.
The boy was "interrogated"? Do you know what the Russian interrogations are like? Contrary to all the police, soldiers and even intelligence services in the world, the Russians aren'tt interested in the truth.
A well-known Polish painter, Józef Czapski (Nabokov's friend), was arrested by the Soviets in 1939. They found a map of Paris in his pocket - he had just come back from Paris. Therefore, he was considered a spy.
Even if the interrogating officer was the stupidest officer in all of Russia, he didn't believe the accusation.
It's just about torturing people, nothing else.
The Soviets in 1939 were led by people who were largely not Russian .
You can learn more about that era and who the main players were by reading books by two of the survivors of the approximately 147,000,000 murdered people.
Those two authors are Alexander Solzenyitsen and Yuri Lima.
@@weissmag Yeah, I read Solzhenitsyn, Shalamov, Applebaum, Wilton etc. in the Council of People's Commissars and other Commissariats there were many people of different origins. So what?
BTW, what's Putin's origin?
@@weissmag These peoples had a certain representation in the highest circles of Bolsheviks and, to put it simply, they gave orders, but the orders were carried out by good Russians. And they did it diligently.
@@mpingo91 OK I see your point although I thought differently ,but I suppose The Russians had to have some representation in there especially since I've met Russians who still gush over Soviet times to this day.
Anyone who says "Soldiers don't act like that! this is all lies!" is a sad sad naive little child.
Now is not the time for lies, it's the time for honestly, honesty and action.
Even then, Russia's army is a special kind of awful. Always has been.
If by action you mean intervention: the answer is no.We will not intervene in this war.
Greetings from Ukraine and thanks for support to all civilization world!
#armforukraine 🇺🇦
Bless you Ivan, I hope you're safe and your family.. stay strong, the world is with you. Russia's crimes will not go unpunished.
Dio benedica il popolo Ucraino.
They need to take ALL of the debris to the russian border and pile it high !!!!!!
Amusing idea. However the border due North of Bucha is .... Chernobyl. Hmmm ...
The worst kind of people are those who do not show respect towards other people's lives and posessions. Seems there is a huge concentration of them in a certain country... .
usa?
Not USA more like Russia. D;ng dongs!
Don't try and turn this bigoted. The Russian state and the millitary leadership is to blame for this, not ordinary Russians.
@@hayleyxyz so who is the Russian State and the Military? Are they not people? They certainly are not robots.....
Outstanding on-the-ground reporting, showing the utter pointlessness of it all.
At the beginning, the questions asked seemed self evident - it seemed the journalist was not prepared. Maybe he was in shock from what he was witnessing. He did much better as the video progressed - making it overall a good piece of work!
sadly we all have to be witnesses to this destruction, thank you for talking to local people
This reporter just won the worst question “so what happened here” “do you feel sorry for the Russian soldiers that died here( in Bucha)” really that’s the best you had
It's to have the common Ukrainian say out what they think and feel. Obviously we know what happened there.
Glory to Ukrainian people and their courageous soldiers. Putin will never break your spirit
Just heart breaking! I wish i had some kind of special power to help these innocent people!
STOP THE WAR. SLAVA UKRAINE.
absolutely heartbreaking. I pray twice each day for the Ukrainian people. A kind, peaceful people who do not deserve this war at all. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤💛💙❤
Excactly. Beautiful, friendly,harmless people. Why ????
I’m with you on this 🙏🏽

I pray for peace. I think the only way this will happen at this point is if Putin is out.
2:22 Fuck sakes, reporters ask the ukraian if he feels sorry for the Russians that just came threw and blew everything up!
Thankyou for showing us this. I'm in tears watching this.
The reporter has come across as cold and not much empathy. He’s more interested in getting the story on paper. He could have hugged that poor woman who lost everything on the 6th floor.
Not really his role as a journalist.
Just like the poor lady said... No words 😔💔
That older woman at the end there just completely broke me.
Russia spent years supplying weapons Bashar al Assad and when he was criticized for it, Putin replied that they were just selling weapons to the "legitimate government of Syria" and that the practice was "in full compliance with the norms of International law". Ukraine's government is way more legitimate than Syria's regime will ever be, since Zelensky was elected w/ 73% of the votes in 2019 elections certified by OCSE, PACE and IEOM as free and fair, so Putin doesn't have the slightest right to bother us about arms sales to Ukraine...
They are animals. When you go to any military institution; navy, army, Air Force. First thing they do is to teach international laws. Teach by the law and to abide the law.
Also, his description of the soldiers: I know this is what they tend to do no matter who they are “fighting for”…they sound exactly like frat boys joyriding except with too much gunpower and sense of entitlement.
Can't believe that this all is happening in 21 centuary... That's terrible
How is it that you do not believe in this? I think you are old enough to witness the US war on Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lybia and many more. It's worse than this war.
Great and important news report. Please keep reminding us of the horror of the war, so that we don't forget!
..and all the other ones like this that we have.
Chechnya, Syria et al.
Also, in Afghanistan, Iraq, and many others that the US committed.
I am without words.And I am far from Ukraine. This woman left with nothing really got me. Note .even a photograph. Nothing.
Thank you very much from Saint Petersburg for highly professional reporting , Slava Ukraine!
So you are within Russia?
Very pleased you can still get access to international sources apart from Russian State media.
Unfortunately with the carefully controlled propaganda most of your fellow citizens would not believe it.
@Conor Makwana maybe you have your eyes shut!
I truly don’t get it. I live in an equivalent sort of place near Toronto and it’s unfathomable to think of my home being invaded like theses. My nephew shot. Being “enemies” of someone who is related to me…
Exactly
Gosh...😳Bucha looks like a scene from the 1985 movie Come and See
This babuska made me cry 😢💔
Long live Ukraine. 🇺🇦💙💛🇺🇦
Amazing journalism. Thank you! Everyone needs to see this, and realize what horro one man has caused. He needs to be stopped. Putin needs to be gone!!!
Unbelievable how Russian army so evil 👿. I don’t know why they still life . So evil. Hope Ukrainian ok wish all the best to Ukrainian
New account?mmmm..
It's so hard, really hard, no to see Russia and Russians on a better light after this.
I have Russian friends, so it's really hard.
don't blame the people friend, they're basically hostages of the kremlin, look how they're treating descent right now, I fear for the innocent russian people, putin must pay for this
Hello, see it from the other side then, watch Patrick Lancaster, he shows what is really happening. I promise, you gonna change your mind.
Madness and a reign of terror by nothing but another tyrannical bully. Vile and appalling behavior by these Russian soldier's. They should be ashamed!!!
US & NATO countries did even worse in their war of aggression against Iraq. But the media supported and whitewashed that war, glorified the murderous invaders and vilified the Iraqi resistance
They have no shame
It’s what Russia has been doing for centuries.
So much destruction. Heartbreaking
Reporting with pad and pen and asking questions without sensitivity. OK. I get that this reporter needed to write down, but asking questions such as he did, I think was insensitive and only served for him to cover his story. Does he have any empathy?
Hell for Putin .. JUSTICE FOR UKRAINE 🇺🇦💯
But how?
This reporter seems a bit dense
Peace for Ukraine and Russia, peace for the world 🙏😭😭😭😢😢😢
Heartbreaking.
I feel so bad for the animals too
Glory for Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦
Technology can create great things and tear them down even faster.
Was dog in the beginning standing weird, like a broken wrist? Front leg closest to person petting it.
Ukrainian people are tough as f**k. I couldn't imagine american civilians fighting like this nor the politicians staying back to protect their country. Zelensky and all the ukrainian ministers and politicians are damn heroes.
They all have balls of steel
Americans are spoiled, to be sure. However, history shows that people do tend to rally when their nation is invaded. People also tend to run, but this reality is not often considered newsworthy unless it's specifically discussing refugees. Those who panic and choose not to fight are great in number -because they're human - but they are either drafted or just ignored.
🤦♀️
Yeah, America has so many self-hating Americans and those who hate their own country. They will somehow end up being LEFT/RIGHT even during the war
You underestimate muricans
That's how people from Donbass lived for 8 years, but you wasn't interested. All you needed to do is respect Minks agreement,
Really awful - please can peace be found soon.
Somewhat reminds me of a certain Schindler's List.
Hollywood pro'paganda movie.
the more videos like this i see the more my hate towards Russia grows. I never liked Russia, to be honest.. I'm glad we got rid of them back in 1989.. and look, they just won't leave Europe alone. Go home, Ivan!
Thanks ! For you're journalism ! Hopefully the world needs to see this ?
heartbreaking and absolutely disgusting!
Horror stories ...May Lord Jesus comfort the broken hearted mothers
The Brits man!.....there could be rockets landing around them..there they are with a cup of tea, telling you what's happening!
Thank you for this report
Mr Putin must stop war against Ukrain... A lot of mass killing has been done and I am an Indian and feel very bad for this brutality... This is insane.... God bless Ukrain and give strength to the people of Ukrain who lost their friends, relative and loved ones...
@Science First👉 please watch Patrick Lancaster then you will hear the TRUTH right from the Ukrainian people.
Also watch Scott Ritter and Enema of the State.
Please watch these people on utube..please
@@FLIPPER1439 why are you so desperate to get strangers to watch these specific reports?
It couldn't be that they contain exactly and only the perspective and information (and disinformation) that you wish others to believe, could it?
@@ems7623 Why would you stop people from watching different sides? Mmmmm...🤔
@@virginiaserranovalencia8082 Because the other side lies through it’s teeth.
Iraqis had nothing left too but Guardian didnt choose to cover them
Suggest you search our channel for films about Iraq before commenting.
That was some emotional non reporting,very obfuscated
I hope that the Ukrainians will manage to smash as many more Russian tanks and personnel carriers as possible. I have lost any remaining empathy for the Russian armed forces if this is what they do and/or tolerate.
Well, I hope for peace and understanding. To each his own, I guess.
This is the turning point for Russia ! I know Iran is months away from Nukes I think if Russia trys to escalate this War into the Baltics [ Finland Estonia Sweden ] It might go that way w/ Biden in there !
So sad to hear these type of news. So sad
Horrific situation. Europe and the west must help in whatever way they can. Stay strong Ukraine 💪🇺🇦💙💛🌻✨
Поможет она вам даже не сомневайся, они только оружием пичкать могут и деньги в долг давать, за которые вы никогда не рассчитаетесь
I smell a 🐀
That was a pretty Lame reporter, just gets people to start opening up and then,”alright … nice meeting you… be well … and so on and so on”
The reporters need to take note of specific ques..to ask...these people are under stress & of victims of war..
Total unnecessary horror and destruction... who has the right???
Российские военные ,не убивают мирных жителей города!
Why do you not go down to mariupol and interview the civilians? Like Patrick lancaster has been doing all through this.
Because he’d be murdered by Russian fascists? Why don’t YOU go?
@@TesterAnimal1 he's the one calling himself an investigative reporter not me... so why not go to mariupol and record the other side ask the civilians there what there thoughts are! Patrick's an American reporter down there and he's doing just fine.
SuperAnthony1982..Yeah Patrick looks good travelling in the van with the Putin fascist Donbas separists..He always bumps into the Z people handing out food and telling us all the news..So funny.
@@SuperAnthony1982 Lancaster is a Kremlin tool riding along the Russian army.
@@borealphoto and Graham Phillips??!
Smile
The value of simple smile
A smile that ease the tense for a while
Excellent reporting. thank you! I can understand how difficult this must have been to do.
Seems like one could leave cases of vodka around and win this war.
Some of the answers to the questions this reporter has require no dialogue.
Go to Mariupol if you dare. There you can see a real thing and of course the truth.
Can you show how American army bombed Iraq?
I am sure much more unhuman.
See the surroundings.. wat did Russian soldiers did to Ukraine.
Everyone knows..
🤔🤔🤔 I didn't see a carpet bombing like those done by US of A. Bcoz carpet bombing is not a crime according to United Nation, Afghanistan is prove enough...
Pointing fingers at the US doesn’t make this any less horrible.
@@shylanambiar4316 war is horrible. Still there's always a reason for someone to do it unfortunately. Pointing fingers at US is the easiest, since they have the big bomber and the money to carpet bomb the area that need pacification, according to their objective.
Watch Patrick Lancaster - a real reporter.
@@irene56 Open your own eyes
Was hatte Putin gesagt : damit selbst eine muecke nicht mehr raus kommt !
Where Is humanity on the earth?
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Репортажи Патрика ,правдивы!
Nobody came to save those poor unlucky people? !?
@Orbital Cooker It is not about money... How can a few ppl change anything? This war could have been avoided. All this death and destruction for nothing
There, y o u d i r t y y o u tu b e e l v e s

A SENSELESS WAR
This guy is out of place lmao
Clear demonstration for fight for bread ,land and woman , it is eternal Ukraine
I’m actually enjoying this beautiful war
😢💔
I hope it is raining in the east as that will restrict pooptlers forces to make advances along paved roads.
Everyone will have their time in front of St. Peter
2:00 Why doesn’t he do the interview in the language the man speaks (is it Ukrainian or Russian?) when the interviewee clearly doesn’t speak English fluently 😑
Slava Ukraini
Guys, watch Patrick Lancaster and see what is really happening. Not this BS
What's really happening? You need to do some study on who the DPR and LPR really are.
War is such an abominable way for humans to solve their disagreements, and yet it rarely solves anything! These particular Russian soldiers were nothing but inhumane animals!
mi consola sapere che anche voi inglesi avete il vostro Giletti...
I feel bad for Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Palestine 🇵🇸 😢
Day Z this is madness
Parece que acabou a guerra?
Que vergüenza de periodismo.. ya le estás sugiriendo la respuesta en la pregunta... bueno, si no cantáis al unísono con Ucrania ya estarías fuera de país, o presos en ucraniana. De alguna manera tendréis que comer y vosotros, que más da si lo haces con dignidad o no ..
I love this guy
Nobody is telling the truth
