A state should never cede territory due to the protestations of separatists. These Russian nationalists should migrate to Russia if they feel that's their homeland. I stand with Ukraine, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Finland. Putin knows no limits and he is grating the patience of Europe.
Drew Gaughan The 13 colonies were colonies of Great Britain. Ukraine is not a Russian colony, but a sovereign nation-state. Russian nationalists were free to migrate to Russia if they wanted to.
cabalofdemons They're clearly Donetsk Nationalists, not Russian. If they were Russian, they'd be seeking to become Russian territory, and they haven't given one hint of that.
you know the sad thing about this all, Ukraine and Russia used to be like the U.S and Canada. than Ukraine wanted to join Europe, and Russia could not stand Ukraine wanting anything else besides Russia. like a crazy ex-girlfriend. sad indeed
Yep very sad to see when they walked into Crimea they dint want to fight the Russians said it was shooting at there brothers and how they felt betrayed
z0ro_ Those who did not wanted to fight Russians are now in Russian army. Cause 80% of Crimean garrison have switched sides. And they are extremely happy that they are not part of this mess in Ukraine.
100vasiliy Umm... no. That would imply that Ukraine was territory of an enemy empire that opposed Russia and was never in union with them. That's a very wrong way of looking at the situation.
100vasiliy The main trigger of the Maidan coup was then-PM Yanukovich’s refusal to sign over Ukraine to the US/EU by adopting the Association Agreement (“AA”). The AA would have cost Ukraine $20 Billion in direct market adjustment costs, which Ukraine asked the EU to help with. The EU, being broke, having just bailed out the PIIGS, refused. Russia then offered cheap natural gas, a loan of $15 Billion, and a customs union. Only 39% of Kiev's government voted in favour of the EU Association Agreement... meaning 61% did NOT want to cut ties with Russia. Yanukovich accepted the Russian deal, so the US/EU ousted him and replaced him with the puppet Yatsenyuk.
***** Main reason of Maidan coup was that Yanukovich never had any support in Kiev. He was voted by East regions votes(with slogans that he would make ties with Russia, defend Russian speaking population etc...). This is why democracy have been killed in Ukraine by maidan. Maidan know that they would have lost next election so pushed for coup.
@@mlc4495 True, but simply put they're historically ethnic Russians that are stuck in a country that wants to be part of the EU / NATO. Just let them break away FFS and stop this bloodshed.

Counter-battery fire is usually more intense than incoming. the goal is to suppress or destroy the enemy position. so it makes sense to hear more outgoing.
They can't win cuz there's no such a country and such nationality. Ukrainians were invented by Austrians 150 years ago. They are Russians who try not to be Russian. As a result - they are nobody

But when these promises are being forgotten and the government basically tries to nationalise every aspect of life, removing Russian language, making nazis national heroes, forbidding to celebrate any Russian-related holidays and so on, even nationalising Church, it is no surprise that historically Russian populated regions will rebell against these. And it is no surprise that they were supported by Russia, because, as we say here, "своих не бросают", "we don't leave our guys behind". We basically tried to save Russian and friendly to Russian people in every local conflict possible, so it was no surprise that it will happen again. It is historically one of the main lines of Russian geopolitics, since the Russian Empire and "pan slavic idea".

The Ukrainian army was made up of people from all Ukraine including Donbass. When the 2014 coup took place the army split up and took sides. The pro Russian side and Pro Europe side.
Listen to the poor Right Sector soldier at 10:05. He just admits that he doesn't think that Russia would have gotten involved after he and his fascist friends attacked ethnic Russians in the East (as well as in Odessa). He truly has lost all comprehension of what brotherhood really is.
@4:15 details their current position on the battlefield to the entire world. I wonder if the Russian / Ukrainian Military view these videos? I'm not sure letting VICE document the conditions of fighting positions, equipment, and the faces (IDs) of military personnel is a good idea.
TheAsdasy Russian is spoken widely in Ukraine. Many Ukrainians are bilingual and can switch back and forth without issue. That is why the "protect Russian language" line from Russia is just one of the many lies they spout.
Snagabott Why do they hate everything russian but are speaking russian? Not only that but ukropian is the only official language. Canada has a dual language, belgium, finland, dutch, etc.
TheAsdasy There are at least 2 large nations in Ukraine that has different languages and traditions - little west part that speaks Ukrainian - really they are poor, rural people that don't have any power, they act as their tv and church says - most of young soldiers comes from there. The second one is a mix of Russians, Jews(statistics says it's 2 % of them - but it's a lie - it was more than 50% in all Ukrainian cities in 1922, it couldn't change so significantly even after WW2), Polish and other ethnics people. All of them speak mostly Russian. Officers and old soldiers speak Russian.
this is gonna last for years. In a few months even Vice will loose interest in this item, as the major channels have already done a few months ago. Before the situation will get solved (probably through some kind of diplomatic intervention), we will be a few years later, Ukraine might fall apart into two seperate countries and the economy will take an even harder hit. That being said, the west of Ukraine is actually very quiet and completely peaceful, so it's not all bad. However, many people have and still will die. It's a shame.
Why show the position of Ukrainian soldiers? Why only shows batalyony volunteer, because they at the front is very small compared with the regular army in Ukraine?
4:00 so in part one when the reporter was visiting DNR and there was shots firing on them. i think if this was a return fire and the DNR were the ones who fired from the volvo base then i think the reporter would noticed this , right? but the reporter didnt say that DNR are the one who fired first. so i think its pretty clear who lied here. also i see what looks like a tank under the bridge @ 3:05 , which according to the minsk agreement should be there.

Den Mok К чему тут погуглите? Это всё должно быть в одном видео, от одного репортёра, а не 25 разных видео. Только так можно более менее показать настоящую ситуацию.
Den Mok позиции украинских террористов я тут увидел. А видео с ополченцами я нашел. Как хорошо что Украина не знает что такое терроризм, и как плохо что так легко обзывает этим страшным словом своих же сограждан.
Дмитрий Швец Аналогичная ситуация с определением фашизма на той стороне только, о нем и кричат совмещая его с разными словами и понятиями, забывая что действительно является фашизмом. А вот определение террорист я думаю правильно дали, ибо если посмотреть как все начиналось, на ум только это и приходит.
Более смешны заявления людей от государства что у нас приказ не открывать огонь, но мы ответку даем. Ладно сепаратисты, они же маргиналы и наркоманы, напутали там чего и залпанули, но вот мы регулярная украинская армия стреляем получается без приказа? :) получается что либо есть приказ отвечать либо армия Украины неподконтрольна президенту.
If I were younger I’d join the Ukrainians. I’m 51 years old and 18 of those years I was broken down by the US Army. I’m basically forced to not join the force because of my broken back. It fucking sucks to get old.
By the way why is Ukraine not attacking Crimea, if it's their territory? Probably because there is Very Clear Russian army stationed there and they know that they will be wiped out there, but on Donbass they imagine Russian Special Forces fighting with them.If Russian army is an aggressor why don't they advance and take over the whole eastern ukraine? Is it not logical? Probably because Russia does not want to conquer Ukraine.
If the DNR were really Russian Soliders as they always claim, Ukraine would be defeated in two days and Poroshenko and his other oligarchs would go in prison. And only because some veterans or volunteers from russia join the DNR doesn't mean that Russia is sending regular soldiers to fight Ukraine. So we could say that France, Germany or any other country are supporting ISIS because some people of these countires go and fight for ISIS. That's absurd!

Very simple give full rights to Russian people in Ukraine and there will be no war stay Neutral like Ireland no war will come
Yeah that's very simple lol NO!
Ireland had many problems and still does.

I think your title may be wrong. Ukraine was attacked and Russian backed separatists broke the ceasefire not Ukraine 🇺🇦
VICE News traveled across the de facto Ukrainian border to visit a number of Ukrainian positions near the Donetsk international airport, which was seized by pro-Russia separatists in January.

John Maxwell They are killing people because they want to speak their native language. For this you call them terrorists? Note, this is Kiev militants came to their home, and not vice versa!
CTPEJiOK fuck off russian Troll !! what the fuck you`re talk about..LIAR, at the KIEV itself everyone speaks in Russian, thats a bullshit a good propaganda for sucher stupid ppl like who believe to this shit, brainwashed moron

I thought I was the only one who found that to be odd. I'm surprised how he is even able to sit with those balls. Hahaha
Listen to the poor Right Sector soldier at 10:05.
He just admits that he doesn't think that Russia would have gotten involved after he and his fascist friends attacked ethnic Russians in the East (as well as in Odessa). He truly has lost all comprehension of what brotherhood really is.
@4:15 details their current position on the battlefield to the entire world. I wonder if the Russian / Ukrainian Military view these videos? I'm not sure letting VICE document the conditions of fighting positions, equipment, and the faces (IDs) of military personnel is a good idea.
i honestly didnt even care about what he was saying, I always find it interesting hearing what real war sounds like
I wonder why the ukranian soldiers are talking in russain
***** I thought they don't like the russian language since the war in their own country
TheAsdasy Still Putin says his war is to protect Russian speakers in Ukraine. Go figure!
TheAsdasy Russian is spoken widely in Ukraine. Many Ukrainians are bilingual and can switch back and forth without issue. That is why the "protect Russian language" line from Russia is just one of the many lies they spout.
Snagabott Why do they hate everything russian but are speaking russian? Not only that but ukropian is the only official language. Canada has a dual language, belgium, finland, dutch, etc.
TheAsdasy There are at least 2 large nations in Ukraine that has different languages and traditions - little west part that speaks Ukrainian - really they are poor, rural people that don't have any power, they act as their tv and church says - most of young soldiers comes from there. The second one is a mix of Russians, Jews(statistics says it's 2 % of them - but it's a lie - it was more than 50% in all Ukrainian cities in 1922, it couldn't change so significantly even after WW2), Polish and other ethnics people. All of them speak mostly Russian. Officers and old soldiers speak Russian.
Rebels will shine once again on the battlefield, mark my words.
I agree
***** Putin's 'volunteers'?
Yuriy Soroka I thought there is already 200.000 Russian regulars in the East.. wtf? Was bloody peter lying dad?

6:20 what is up with the noose?
this is gonna last for years. In a few months even Vice will loose interest in this item, as the major channels have already done a few months ago. Before the situation will get solved (probably through some kind of diplomatic intervention), we will be a few years later, Ukraine might fall apart into two seperate countries and the economy will take an even harder hit. That being said, the west of Ukraine is actually very quiet and completely peaceful, so it's not all bad. However, many people have and still will die. It's a shame.
You a prophet
Why can't we be friends...
I truly love how the western world has just bent over on the situation in Ukraine. Such strong ethos.
Good work, VICE. Thank you.
Go live Ukraine! Much love from Miami, Florida.
4 years later but thank you!
We still kicking
more outgoing than incoming fire? no way man.
Why show the position of Ukrainian soldiers?
Why only shows batalyony volunteer, because they at the front is very small compared with the regular army in Ukraine?
4:00
so in part one when the reporter was visiting DNR and there was shots firing on them.
i think if this was a return fire and the DNR were the ones who fired from the volvo base then i think the reporter would noticed this , right? but the reporter didnt say that DNR are the one who fired first.
so i think its pretty clear who lied here.
also i see what looks like a tank under the bridge @ 3:05 , which according to the minsk agreement should be there.
Artillery shouldn’t been there but hey they have already violated over 12 agreements lol
good journalism refreshing ....
Ну конечно, вам помогали ге.йропа и пин.досы, а Россия типа не должна была помочь Донецку и Луганску. Помогали, помогаем и будем помогать. Если не одумаетесь, потеряете свою государственность.

He said " they have heard more outgoing fire than incoming fire". Just think about that...
The funny thing is, is that ukraine started this mess,
Please explain how... Ukrainian Army moved to the Ukrainian territory without crossing the border of another country. It's legal, to to kill separatists, terrorists, and take control over territory. United States army is legal in Texas or New York... France Army is legal in Paris... Russian army is legal in Moscow... There's nothing wrong about it.
@@justjustice8968 ukraine moved in its troops when donbas wanted to rejoin russia, if ukraine would'v Just let the people of donbas rejoin russia as they wanted to in 2014 there woudnt be so many civilian deaths by ukrainian artilery, but it seems that the will of the government is more important than the will of the people in ukraine.
@@glgl5730 As I understand, the law should be ignored... There's a constitution in Ukraine, which says that territorial questions should be on a referendum on the whole territory of Ukraine. 2: Are you trying to say that all people in Donbass want to join Russia? I think you didn't saw those videos where thousands of Ukrainian were in a Pro- Ukrainian meetings. A lot of them were killed. If you need proof links, just let me know and I'll send them to you. 3: Don't you remember when Russia moved its army to Chechnya in order to take control over region? There were also separatists who wanted to separate from Russia. They were killing ethnic Russians and those who were loyal to Russia... As a result, Russian Army came to the region.
4: It seems like I can create my own republic. I will ask my neighbors to join me. We will occupy our street and kill those who disagree with us... Is that legal?
@@justjustice8968 thirst of all, in chechnya there was a terrorist warlord in power, that coudnt possibly be in power of a nation, and only a minor percentage of the chechen people wanted to leave russia, and Just like in crimea, there was a ukrainian initiated vote, and 65% of the population of donbas voted to rejoin russia, and Just like the pro ukranians, there were many pro russian meetings in donbas.
JustJustice why can’t donbass and Luhansk join Russia I they want they had a referendum and the majority vote was to join Russia
Ukrainians perfectly fluent in Russian
I had an ukrainian girlfriend that was fluid in russian and ukrainian.
under communist rule all soviet republics had their own native language but also russian. You can hear differences in accent though. people from Armenia, kazachstan, Ukraine, the baltics and many more, who lived in the former soviet Union can still speak russian . in Ukraine russian is very much spoken. in the west of Ukraine you hear more ukrainian, but from kiev to the east russian is more common.
Just because Americans barely have the mental capacity to speak one language doesnt mean normal people cant speak multiple languages.
@@Kilroy1324 whatever Ukrainian is basically a russian dialect while Americans have to learn Spanish and French which are very different from English
как обосрутся "герои" когда действительно российская армия пойдет на них
Опять как то однобоко. Где же работа журналиста показывающая все как есть с обоих сторон. Даже смешно когда на 48й секунде журналист проходит возле огроменной кучи в пару вагонов пустых ящиков из под снарядов в Песках и потом показывают каких то ребят которые говорят, да мы ни разу не стреляли.. это все они, а мы бедные беленькие овечки. Или правосеков показывает с офигенно мирными инициативами.. "ну это.. мира не будет пока мы там всех под себя не положим... и что их там не устраивает не понятно"... а потом вообще про ядерную войну заговорил какой то маргинал. Что мешает журналисту поехать на позиции с другой стороны фронта и снять ту самую "регулярную армию" которая не может победить кучку фанатиков.. брееед... Очень испортился канал. Очень однобоко
Дмитрий Швец С позиций террористических бандформирований уже показывали. Погуглите. Ну а если просто не нравится интервью с украинскими солдатами, то это ваши личные проблемы.
Den Mok К чему тут погуглите? Это всё должно быть в одном видео, от одного репортёра, а не 25 разных видео. Только так можно более менее показать настоящую ситуацию.
Den Mok позиции украинских террористов я тут увидел. А видео с ополченцами я нашел. Как хорошо что Украина не знает что такое терроризм, и как плохо что так легко обзывает этим страшным словом своих же сограждан.
Дмитрий Швец Аналогичная ситуация с определением фашизма на той стороне только, о нем и кричат совмещая его с разными словами и понятиями, забывая что действительно является фашизмом. А вот определение террорист я думаю правильно дали, ибо если посмотреть как все начиналось, на ум только это и приходит.
Более смешны заявления людей от государства что у нас приказ не открывать огонь, но мы ответку даем. Ладно сепаратисты, они же маргиналы и наркоманы, напутали там чего и залпанули, но вот мы регулярная украинская армия стреляем получается без приказа? :) получается что либо есть приказ отвечать либо армия Украины неподконтрольна президенту.
If I were younger I’d join the Ukrainians. I’m 51 years old and 18 of those years I was broken down by the US Army. I’m basically forced to not join the force because of my broken back. It fucking sucks to get old.
Dont be sad. There are plenty of things to enjoy.
Good reporting Henry. Both Parts 1 & 2 well done.You and Simon are about the only 2 journalists giving western viewers in depth front line reporting.
mightbe worth to mention these scenes are in the donbass
NOT at KIEV
so kiev forces went to donbass fighting ukrainiens
just set straight the records
By the way why is Ukraine not attacking Crimea, if it's their territory? Probably because there is Very Clear Russian army stationed there and they know that they will be wiped out there, but on Donbass they imagine Russian Special Forces fighting with them.If Russian army is an aggressor why don't they advance and take over the whole eastern ukraine? Is it not logical? Probably because Russia does not want to conquer Ukraine.
ебать вы тупые тролли такой бред пишите.
Yeah... or they are lying about it. Ever considered that? There is tons of evidence for Russian soldiers in the Ukraine.
@@MrCmon113 Link your tons of evidence.
Russia trying to take back former soviet territories
If the DNR were really Russian Soliders as they always claim, Ukraine would be defeated in two days and Poroshenko and his other oligarchs would go in prison. And only because some veterans or volunteers from russia join the DNR doesn't mean that Russia is sending regular soldiers to fight Ukraine. So we could say that France, Germany or any other country are supporting ISIS because some people of these countires go and fight for ISIS. That's absurd!
Whered they get all the artillery AA missiles tanks then?
