@@Cryaboutmyhandleit’s vice. They are a 1/2 step away from being a satire news provider 🤦🏼♂️. They are a vary biased news channel
1 year anniversary but Russia start invasion in 2014 ??
Every human on this planet should have the right to defend themselves and the proper tools to do so.
Don’t ever forget that VICE was one of the only major media outlets who focused on the development of this conflict since it began in 2013, and the events leading up to its initiation. This conflict should’ve garnished considerably more attention than it had in its early years and may have possibly been resolved or at least diminished in its severity. Unfortunately the action was not taken, and tens of millions have had to pay the price.
Exactly this! I was amazed at how little coverage the annexation of Crimea received. Made the west look weak.
You see the news about the other major wars going on? Its pretty standard to only cover once and during the final outcome. A major reason why its beng covered continually is because ukraine is basically inviting the world press to the battlefield to see the news to get western sympathy.
Maybe you should go back to 2014.....
@@ConnorNolanexactly no fly zone would have won this war for Ukraine in weeks just warcrimes alone should be enough send in f22s and b21 bombers
@@markchristensen6796 I wish we could go back to the time before Russia started this horrible war. My high school had exchange students from Crimea, and they are dead now, murdered by Russian soldiers who are two cowardly to show which country they are really from.
I watched the 100 part Vice series from back in 2014 or 2015...it was so amazing....crazy 10 years later Vice is still covering the war
Yeah, Russian Roulette? I think about that series often, even before this latest invasion. That series was truly gripping.
Remember how dude got kidnapped?
Vice is PRO Russia posing as a western journalism…. FYI
They did great work with that 100 part Vice series
They didn't cover how Ukrainians treated the Africans though evil on both sides I say
When the little girl said I just want to go to the park & hear silence, I completely broke down. How can people be so inhumane & inflict this genocide?!

@Truck Your delusional, Russia secretly invaded Ukraine in 2014! The war was going on for 6 years before Zelenskyy became president!

Thank you for sharing this and for your incredible work!!!❤
This is the Vice I love. Great reporting on the front lines, no matter how upsetting. Let the truth be seen and heard. The 12 year old girl broke my heart. May the world never forget this atrocity.
Big Shoutout to vice for always being on the frontlines of all our wars despite the dangers that come with being in a war zone .
especially knowing the russkies bad aim
@@commiesnzombies true but missiles/artillery don't require very accurate aim, they just have to be close enough. Those are the biggest killers, far more than small arms.
These are wars that the West and Zionists fabricated because your economies depend on war and the spoils of war such as resources and territorial expansion.
Yep. Say what you like but they’re putting their lives on the line to document the truth.
@@sam8404 exactly
As an American living in Ukraine, I really appreciate this reporting. Too many have already forgotten about the horrors that this war had brought upon the Ukrainian people.
Forgotten? Isn’t the war still going on?
Ukraine brought this on themselves. Since 2008 the right wing in Ukraine has been killing Russian speakers in the donbass
This would be like the right wing states attacking liberal states and not expect a pushback in the US. Both the cultural Ukrainians and the cultural Russians in Ukraine are Ukrainians but that's not how the far right in Ukraine operated.
@porn theater mop bucket This is one of the most brain dead comments I've ever seen lmao
@@chigggg yes but many have already forgotten about it
Having to call my wife and tell her that her county was being invaded by Russia was devastating. It was akin to how it felt for me on September 11th. The whole family was drained of every ounce of joy. A year later and the people of Ukraine still stand tall. Слава Україні!
This won't be over until the US nukes Russia
@@proudgoyim631ur a joke
@proud goyim fake UA-cam account made 6 months ago Russian troll
September 11 is nowhere on the spectrum compared to whats happened in ukraine. Something doesn't jive here with the way this whole thing is playing out, how can the world stand by and allow this? Why did the allies say NO tanks when tens of thousands were being slaughtered last year and now all of a sudden just decide too late we're sending Tanks to help?
Ukraine will fall. Sorry bud.
Thank you! Your work is incredibly important. I’m in - making a donation right now!
Man, those folks need peace. I honestly hope for the best outcome for all these people. War is hell
The sheer balls of the Ukrainian people in defending their homeland is something that should inspire everyone. They've shown to the entire world that Russia's military power was largely bravado.
Lol... fool... the entire west + ukraine(money, intillegence, weapons etc. you name it) vs Russia... if only this proves how resilient Russia is...
Let's just all hope that western countries will keep a steady stream of weapons, ammo and aid going into Ukraine and Ukrainians themselves will dispense all that where it's needed the most. Without that, complete victory won't be possible.
Much love and respect from Poland
🇵🇱 🇺🇦
Yup
Balls huh? Then why did so many men flee at the beginning?
It's your duty to protect your homeland and way of life.
You do it for your survival. You do it for your children's survival.
You fight standing so you don't die on your knees.
I don't find any inspiration in killing others for dirt.
Damn.... a whole year already.... Unreal
It’s real
Glad everyone thought it went by quick. That was the longest year of my life because I had no clue the amount of involvement NATO would get into (currently in the IRR and wasn’t sure if I’d get recalled). That was a brutal summer just waiting for one side to make a move after Russia retreated from the offensive in the North.
Exactly what I said, much respect to the men defending their country.

I think it would be a good idea to follow up on some of the people you’ve interviewed here. Tell us what has happened to them, if possible, talk to them again, see what they thing now, since so much time has passed. Things are constantly changing, so I think that type of follow-up would be extremely interesting. Thank you for the extraordinary and emotional work, as always, Vice.

extraordinary coverage this video is, Vice. Amazing

Anne-Laure Bonnel - "Donbas" ❤
Incredible footage, will done vice. This is old vice we all loved
the thing that hit me hardest about this documentary was the among us painting on the wall at around the 25 minute mark. It really shows how these literal children are being exposed to this, and even worse, in such a recent time.
Knowing people, there's about a 40% chance that AMOGUS painting was drawn by an adult.
Bro I was just about to make a comment about this then I saw yours, it reminds me of the game this war of mine: the little ones, it shows how bad war is and what it can do to people,in the game you can adopt/save a child who will draw on the walls. this is so messed up.
I know a lot of people in their 30s who played that game
this has always been happening..
Iraq war, Vietnam, ww2, ww1...
How about the kids in syria?
The look on the face of the guy interviewing Maria-the-liar Butina is priceless. His questions were spot on. Thank you, Vice.
Well, done Vice! You also got Clarke to add commentary! He's excellent!
I think of Sonia often. I hope her and her family are well. Prayers and best wishes to everyone living through war in the world rn
Thank you for providing coverage of Ukraine going all the way back to 2013 and earlier. Being able to watch the nation struggle with its identity and sovereignty while slowly transforming over the last decade has been invaluable. Simon Ostrovsky's courageous early work was especially informative; it's the main reason I wasn't as clueless about the Donbas as others around me during the initial stages of the full invasion last year. Keep it up! 🇺🇦
I’m from the Donbass and I found his coverage impressive!
The American taxpayer. 40% of whom are people of color who have to waste their money on these people. Where was the empathy when Russia bombed Aleppo? The sanctions when America raped Iraq and Libya?
The world stands with Ukraine, Slava Ukraini!
I think the soldiers in the Russian army are just about to revolt by refusing to die for Putin and with mas surrendering, I think Putins army will stop the war themselves because Ukraine has apparently been supplied secretly with very long rage rockets and missiles and are now able to destroy ammo dumps all over Crimea ! Just check and see how many big bases and dumps they hit today !!
@@ericsilver9401the "world" doesnt, west does. Most of of the rest of the world like Asia, South America, Middle East and Eastern Europe are pro Russia in this conflict, or at best, neutral.
Thx to vicenews! Great journalism
Curious @Vice News why is this video "The uploader has not made this video available in your country" for Canada?
The worst part of these war documentaries is seeing the children and pets affected. There's something innocent, naive, pure about kids and animals and its absolutely brutal to see what war does to those who cant defend themselves.
Any kind of civilian and yes to some extent pets make me sad. I thought it was funny near the beginning of the documentary when people are literally fleeing Ukraine they showed someone had their dog on a leash and the dog was wearing clothes. Bruh, you're getting bombed and you took time to dress the dog? I dunno, I just thought that was funny. People are so weird. =)
@@beardly0121 it's well below freezing in some parts of Ukraine during winter. Small dogs cannot tolerate the cold
I guess for u seeing the videos of men being shot and blown up doesnt matter if the dog is safe thank zelensky for not sending a single bus to evacuate anyone from the east
And the mental trauma the scares they will be cursed to carry the rest of their life, and for what, the ego and greed of one man and the spineless ass kissers he surrounds himself with, ah we haven't seen this enough God history keeps repeating itself
For real. A few months ago I saw a video of a returning civilian walking around a recently liberated city. About half way in the 30 min video they saw a small black dog, gasped and said, "Those bastards." When the dog got closer you could see a "V" had been burned on its head starting between it's eyes. One of its little eyes was so milky I swear it must have been blinded. For some reason, every time I think of the war now that little dog pops in my head.
Not that I don't care about people, but just seeing animals that probably had homes just end up wandering in a war zone with little help (and yes I understand people come first and understand why) is so sad.
Nobody can explain the situation on the ground quite like Professor Michael Clarke can. The man needs a podcast
Yeah he is always good on the Sky news clips too. Or whichever British news outlet he is normally on.
Patrick lancaster or eva bartlett do a much better job because they r actually there
@@drron5608 Lancaster is a Russian propagandist you !diot
Really hits different. Thank you VICE for providing a crystal clear insight on this “military special operation.”
I sure hope Sonia and her family are Okay.
It’s hard to overstate just how dark this war, and all wars in general are. I don’t know why we keep doing this to each other.
the children just break my heart. to see them trying to be kids with all that going on. that little girl when she said she had no one to talk or play with just broke my heart
I know I shouldn't judge, especially from my safe home in my country that isn't being bombed, but here I go anyhow. If her parents have no where else to go I can see staying, but the whole "this is our city so we're not leaving" thing they said also made me sad and a little mad. There's no shame in taking their child somewhere that isn't being bombed even if it means becoming a refugee in another country like many other Ukrainians have done. I think it's better to leave and live so you can come back to rebuild once the fighting stops. Everything about this nightmare save the strength and resilience of the Ukrainian people is heartbreaking.
@@DennisMoore664 i do agree with you, but at the same time i can see where they come from. if america was being invaded i would think alot of americans would stay. we love our country same as with ukraines. i suppose some people would rather stay then be chased out of there homes. also there are a lot of refugees from this war, it can be hard to get into refugee camps and especially with family. it could also just be expensive, there is also that chance that maybe they are not taking the war too seriously, the world is filled with stubborn people. but that’s just my opinion. like you said i’m not ukraine so i don’t really know the situation.
@@DennisMoore664 they are reckless and should have left for their daughters sake
@@MrJosh066717 well you see it’s not that simple just packing up you’re family and leaving the country. you need money, and it’s not exactly cheap to travel to a new country and just start a new. most of the time you see families only send their children away, cause it’s too expensive to send and support their whole family. you try stepping into their shoes before posting dumb comments. you want to know what’s reckless? bombing civilian infrastructure! these people shouldn’t have to leave their homes!
Imagine just being born and living in a country have a family and get raided by Russians in ur sleep Jesus Christ this is scary….
You thought it was just Cold War bs huh?

@@ayaescobar6052Ah yes, I do remember like it was yesterday the corrupt Pro-Russian puppet fled the country on his own will leaving a power vacuum and also getting impeached by his own political party later that day. That still does not justify Russia invading a sovereign country and starting the war in a temper tantrum response. Boo hoo, their puppet is gone. Sorry, not sorry.
@@ayaescobar6052 Except I did mention. This was started by Russia's little green men invasion and they directly supplied radical nationalist proxies and their own Russian passport carrying citizens. Millions of internally displaced Ukrainians fled Donbas. There was no "civil war".
This started with a CIA-backed coup of the Ukrainian government. Get your facts straight.
@@Mubvekhar That's not a fact because that has literally never once been proven to be true. Clown.

@@TheDudeMaaaan I am sure we are getting it close. New tanks are coming
The Great Patriotic War took an estimated 27 million lives. Survivors of this war suffered for decades of PTSD. This led to widespread use of alcohol and suicides of many men. The ratio of women to men was 25:1. In 2010, Ukraine had 14:1 ratio women to men. Both sides will suffer from the unseen scars of combat. The longer this war continues the greater the number of combatants and non combatants suffering from both physical and psychological scars long after this war ends.
@@stepankazakov6818 lol okay new tanks will save you your right I'm sorry
In the weeks after the Russian invasion there was a video online of an old Ukrainian woman giving handfuls of sunflower seeds to the young Russian soldiers who had invaded her town. When asked what she was doing she explained she was helping to beautify the countryside by planting seeds in the pockets of the Russian soldiers since they would soon be killed and buried in Ukraine.
She may have suffered to the Russians when she was young, I hope I get to see the fields of sunflowers due to her work soon
Lol remember that cringey ahh vid
I saw it. One bad ass babushka.
I saw it too. Also saw a hay field planted into a sunflower field last spring and summer. Brave woman to stand up to tyranny like that. I will never again see sunflower plants the same again. God Bless Ukranian people
The truth is most of those guys she gave the sunflower seeds are dead or wounded. Entire BTGs were decimated, some up to 90%. There is not much left of the originina 1st guards, 76th VDV, etc etc.
great piece!
I feel for the civilians the most, just like all other conflicts in the world it's the civilians who pay the heaviest price and that saddens me but I'm glad for the warriors who are there to defend against Russia's aggression
I suspect a lot of the buildings and forests hide a huge number of bodies and skeletons as lots of people didn't want to leave or didn't have the money to do so, so just random bombs, cold, hunger, looters, r*pists, and random soldiers shooting at everything.. all those collapsed buildings may very well have skeletons of 20 people hiding in the basement..
Nothing will change until we establish a central government that oversees all nations. Which will not change until the soldiers of all countries refuse to fight for a cause that brings trauma and destruction to the loser and wealth to the winners who aren’t willing to even fight in the wars they start
@@PostMalone-real agreed! And when we stop fighting for profit and government stops being greedy
Have you seen videos of the Ukrainian Arny just grabbing any man they can find and forcing them into meat grinder thats already ended the lives of 150,000 men on the Ukrainian side alone?
There is no wining for the Ukraine, just lots of pointless death.
Its truly sad and the US Government and my fellow retarded citizens wave flags of a country that can't find on a map and cheer on the death of young men. Ffs even Zelensky has openly stated he had no desire to abide by the peace treaty that was signed.

I honestly don't understand why so many people criticize and dismiss "Vice"... I mean yes, sometimes they can be biased. But you gotta respect their hustle, they jump right into the middle of a situation covering the story right at ground zero instead of repeating 2nd hand information from the safety of a T.V studio.
The main criticisms I always heard was skepticism that they were in places they claimed to be, mainly due to the video backgrounds, which led folks to believe it was stock footage, and the camera angles, which rarely showed both reporter and interviewee together. Lately they seem to have done a bit more to make things look better. I certainly hope it's all authentic. The writing is excellent though! And the topics are spot on!
May this nightmare for Ukraine be over, overnight.
I'm a father,and just knowing u can't protect your family is terrifying and heartbreaking

Seeing the dead, injured, and displaced civilians makes me so very thankful to be an American. I know that America isn’t perfect. I think we should always try a be better than yesterday. I think corrupt and criminal people in power should be held accountable. I do think that we are very lucky to be here though. America is one of the best countries on Earth. I don’t understand why some Americans can see a story like this and not feel that they are lucky to be Americans.
What if I told you as being American you are directly responsible for the dead, injured and displaced civilians.
@@-thefalcon- I’d say that you don’t understand what “directly responsible” means. If one of your parents went to prison for murder would you also have to go to prison? Now think if your grandparents, great grandparents committed murder, would that be more ridiculous? If you really feel that way then you should probably go turn yourself in to the police, because everyone has a relative that did something horrible to someone else if you go back far enough.
@@-thefalcon- the only people responsible for this are Putler and his supporters, like you! And I have family in Ukraine. I can see all your comments supporting Putler. It’s not worth it to sell your soul for an evil blood thirsty tyrant.
@@-thefalcon- Russia started this war in 2014 because Putin was butthurt his puppet got tossed out. The civil war that followed was a Russian military plan. First annex the Crimea with little green men. Then give military weapons to separatist extremists.
These deaths are on Putin's hands, not Ukraine's. None of this would have happened if Putin wasn't the aggressor. Putin is Nato's best recruiter. Putin is 100% responsible for any expansions in Nato. Without Putin, there is no Nato.
Also civilians were killed on both sides in the civil war spurred on by armed separatists. 14K civilians from both sides, 90% in the first year 2014. What changed after that 1st year? Nato got involved in 2015 training and arming Ukraine so it could defend itself from Russian-backed separatists. In order to get weapons and training, Ukraine's forces were cleaned up. Forces were expected to adhere to Nato-like standards in order to get equipped. Which is why there are so few civilian deaths in the two years prior to Russia's invasion.

Nope they’re still out there raping kids.
Oh they will. russian economy was less than that of Texas -- and that before the war-related sanctions. They stand no chance whatsoever against the combined economic and technological power of Western nations. By persisting in this barbarous invasion they are digging a deeper hole for their own country. In the end they will gain nothing and remain the most sanctioned state, a regional power at best. With some luck, they'll collapse outright.
Putin has twice as many able-bodied men of age to throw into the meat grinder. They're untrained, but they're able-bodied and disposable in his mind. He won't stop anytime soon, casualties for Russia are maximum like 200k right now, they won't stop until 1million+ casualties, unless Putin is assassinated or somehow the meat decides it is no longer willing to enter the grinder.
Weird how there was no warning pop up on this video
How are there blown up vehicles right next to untouched trees? As someone who works on tree professionally; those trees mostly look untouched. How? everything around them is blown to pieces?
Thank you Vice! I’ve been wanting for a good, in depth, play by play documentary on this. Vice never fails to give you all the information, unbiased.
Amen
This war is almost 10 years old.
Yep, early 2014 when Russia invaded Crimea and annexed it
The outbreak of full-scale military conflict and high death toll began a year ago. Smartass.
@@satanicaleve 2013 when john mcane and george soros collapsed the ukrainian economy and overthrew the ukrainian government and brought nazis to power..... your name is fitting
Also Donetsk and Luhansk
Yes but only in Donbass and Crimea
Vice always do a great job 👏. Great ending on what the little girl said. She wants to go to the park, seeing new buildings being built and she just wants peace for her country ❤️❤️😔. So young and yet so mature.
Watching this feeling helpless is the worst feeling ever I want to help the people of Ukraine 🇺🇦
My prayers for Ukraine this just horrible
Very happy you brought Michael Clarke in on this
Vice do some great reporting. I really hope these guy’s get paid very well. I know there was a story in The Guardian a few years ago saying that their staff were treated bad.
