The Dutch have a very very long memory. Impressive interview horrifying. Looking forward to your documentary John. Regards from The Hague, Bastiaan
I am a Dutch woman so dubbel that we won’t forget! Thank you for your optimism. I am looking forward to see your film. I hope the allies step up after the breaching of the Nova Kakovka dam. Bring Ukraine more long range weapons help the freedom fighters and bring Justice for Ukraine! Slava Ukraine, Heroyam slava!
My grandparents left Kyiv, Ukraine 🇺🇦 for Canada 🇨🇦 in 1910. The Ukrainians have always suffered. There are millions of Ukrainians here in Canada. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 from Canada 🇨🇦 .
I'm sorry your family has suffered in the past. No Ukrainian should ever have been treated so bad and have their land taken away.
Same here My Czech 🇨🇿 grandparents and families members fled in 1930s and 1940s for the US🇺🇸. I remember them pointing to horrible crimes , news , ruSSian propaganda on TV . Telling me at as a 10yr kid what ruSSia is all about . They told me to always watch what ruSSia does and says they will always be war criminals and when I grow up I will understand more . I still hear them and see what ruSSia does

Poverty in Ukraine ---Poverty in Ukraine spiked after the Dissolution of the Soviet Union and then substantially declined, before flattening in the twenty-first century.
SLAVES.... Smart.... Able Slaves.... Available in Ukraine.... They bought them all... Roman Kings and Such... Pretty Ladies... They Bought them... but... They knew the Jews to Be Tricky... Inserting themselves into the Courts and Taking OVER... FAIRY TALES...
Charles the Great sold his SONS to Everyone.... Teresa... Empress of ALL... WHO did SHE MARRY??? We Don't send you our WORST... Our Sons want to see the World... What Better Way than by being a Courtier??? The Weekend...
WHOM????
DID She NOT MARRY???
Dare not to sleep" (Norwegian: "Du må ikke sove!") is a poem written by Arnulf Øverland. The poem was first published in the magazine Samtiden in 1936,[1] and included in the poetry collection Den Røde Front from 1937.
It is about the Nazism and Fascism's onward march in Europe - a warning against indifference, human contempt and a warning against what would happen.
Dare not to sleep!
I woke up one night by a strange dream, it was like a voice spoke to me, clear as a power from below, and I stod up: What do you want from me?
-You must not sleep! You must not sleep!
You must not believe, that you’ve only dreamed!
Yesterday I was sentenced.
In the night, they have raised scaffold in the yard.
They retrieve me at five tomorrow!
The whole basement is full, and all of the barracks have basements by basements.
We await in stonecold cells, we are rotting in the dark hole!
We do not know what is awaiting, we wait, and who would be next, they retrieve.
We are groaning, we scream-but can you hear?
There is absolutely nothing you can do?
No one will see us.
No one will know what is going to happen, happen to us.
Yet more: no one can believe, what happens here daily!
You mean, it can not be true, so evil no people can be.
There have to be some decent people there?
Brother, you have much to learn yet!
You said: you should give your life, if it is required.
And now, we have provided it-in vain, in vain!
The world has forgotten us! We are deceived!
Dare not to sleep in the night!
Think not of your gain and loss!
Do not blame others, that you have done more than enough!
Do not sit safely in your home and say: it is sad, poor them!
You don’t have to endure the injustice and evil that others must endure!
I cry out with the last breath of my vote: you are not allowed to forget!
Forgive them not; they know what they’re doing!
They breathe on the bondage of hatred and evils hot coals!
They like to kill, the glories of jammer, they want to see our world in flames!
They want to drown us all in the blood!
Do you think? You know!
You know, that school children are soldiers, as the shoals of song over turf and streets, and the joy of their mothers. Pious pigs, they are guardian of their country and want to go to war!
You know it means public deception with fortitude and with faith and honor. You know, that the child wants to be a hero. He will wave a sabre and flag!
And he’s going to out in a shed of steel and hang again in a barbed wire and rot for Hitler’s Aryan race!
You know, it is humans meaning and goals! I realized it’s not. Now it is too late.
My judgment is fair. My punishment is deserved. I believed in progress, I believed in peace, at work, one cohesion, on love! But the one that will not die in a crowd get to try alone, on the hangman’s block!
I cry in the dark, you hear! There is a single thing to do: Be our help, while you have a free hand! Give us your children! Europe is on fire!
What better review than a history repeating itself?🥲💔
One person CAN make a difference.
yep, like hitler did too, so what's your point?
Truth!!!!
SHAME ON EVERYONE FOR NOT STANDING UP TO PUTIN !!! 😠
Heroyam Slava 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Umm, everyone is. But he's still winning, go figure.
BTW if you're Aussie, thank your lucky stars, shut up, and keep your economy afloat. Europe is dying bc they rejected peace deal signed in march 2022.
@@one4320
Lol! Ok ! Should I also start investing more in the BRICS and forget about the USD too? 👀
@@one4320 what's your source for stating europe is dying? nobody but Ukraine rejected a peace deal and we all can see now that such a deal means nothing when it's made with "the cowardly oligarch crime syndicate" aka "the warmongering kremlin creeps" aka "the ones who f*ck over their own people and anyone weak or stupid enough to be in their sphere of influence".
liar you have been caught lying the BBC had to let you go even. But I'm with Ukraine
Thank you very much for taking risks to inform us about the cruel practices of the Russian state! British and Dutch support for Ukraine is indeed impressive, and I think that many people in other European countries are grateful for that. It would be interesting to know why so many people in countries that suffered from German occupation have no real desire to actively support Ukraine. Appeasement seems to be the most comfortable reaction to problems that one does not want to acknowledge. Military problems need a military solution, not just some economic sanctions that can be circumvented.
I would like to know if your documentary is coming to Australia...I think all Aussies should see this documentary as well. Thank you for your work, LOVE to Ukraine!
John Sweeney's aggressive journalism and comedy aimed at Putin's heart is great! Please John Sweeney make a documentary about Ukrainian comedy as a weapon of self defense and national uprising/resistance in this absurd war against Ukraine by the Russian tyrant and empire fantasist Putin. There is Servant of the People TV series of course, and many new comedians spreading Ukrainian attitude and resistance through their counter-culture. Ukrainian comedy will triumph over Russian tragedy of war as a matter of justice and by spreading support for the Ukrainian independence movement through online culture. Comedy has been legitimately weaponized for resisting the traumas of war and colonialization by inhumane and torturing, lawless conscripts forced by gunpoint to do all the dirty deeds of a distant dictator. Zelenskyy himself is a leading comedian and artist of the absurd.
Nothing but total admiration for Mr John Sweeny.
Great interview, can we please get this interview broadcast on State TV in Russia
Happy BIRTHDAY, John, and thank you for this documentary. I'm looking forward to watch it when available here in Toronto, Canada.
I'm a Cuban refugee since 1988 and I KNOW what a regime like Putler's is capable of doing.
Congratulations❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
SLAVA UKRAINE, AND GOOD BLESS THEN💖💖💖💕💕❤️❤️💖💖
Good work. Way past time the world got to really know that lovely society. Maybe ,one day, the rushin “people” will come to terms with why every people who has experienced them hates them ,largely….
Yes they’re using thermalbaric bombs phosphorus also on civilians
Well, that was a real tease lol. Looks frickin AWESOME! I must see!!!!!! Thank you John Sweeney
Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava! 💛💙💛💙
John is great i could listen to his stories for hours need more like him
VPDFO! John Sweeney is a stalwart soul on the side of truth and democracy. Slava Ukraini
Love John!
You don't know him
Where can I watch this documentary?
#MH17 was absolutely the biggest mistake which unbelievably went virtually unpunished. Without a doubt, Russia's full scale invasion of 2022 could have been avoided if the appropriate and proportionate action was taken in 2014.
You are exactly right! The US and UK had guaranteed Uraine's sovereignty but for the sake of peace they turned a blind eye when the ruzzian savior annexed Crimea.
Ever since I was a young boy, I have seen television documentaries and books about the wars of last century. I could never understand how the grown ups could have looked on; doing and saying nothing as fanaticism took hold. How could they witnesse, enable, or even participate in the most appalling atrocities against fellow human beings? I also saw the many solemn speeches delivered in the immediate aftermath of war, and in annual memorial services since; all earnestly declaring commitment to ensure such things would never be repeated. Now aged in my fifties, I have seen for myself how these things happen. I am disgusted and I am ashamed.
None of the Russian actions will be forgiven nor forgotten.
John you are a legend, your job Is irreplaceable and you too, I' ll share your videos with everybody, thank you John and be safe, love
From one who experienced everyday life in a country I did not fit in I can tell you that just hearing or even seeing documentary about does not begin to describe the oppression and down right belittling of any one person who is somehow in a position of need or beneath you somehow. Example: you need a new passport ( in a normal country this is a simple transaction) in Russia officials (clerks) treat you like you some kind of idiot. Make you wait all day to get a blank form to fill out. Next time you come if you did not bring a bribe you'll wait one or more days for some other insignificant piece of paper, that you have to have to get the document that government require you to have.
Its blackmail actually 😂😂😂threatening you to waste your time and not get your passport .
That’s what happens when you give important jobs to your mates who know nothing about the job on a macro level like in Russia. It’s truly appalling.
That's incredible. The corruption is obnoxious. Of course they taught South African ANC how to be corrupt too. Its the same in SA ....pay a bribe. Disgusting!!!!!!
This should have alot more views. I think it would if you edited the sound for quality.
Powerful stuff. 😕
(Early) 🎉HAPPY BIRTHDAY from the Netherlands ❣
Sometimes people excel in the particular skill I teach, but I think that is down to individual personality more than any kind of innate ability. That must be nurtured though. some people can show aptitude for certain things, but as I said before it is down to the individual rather than any group dynamic. Talent should be nurtured, but the pupil must know that this doesn't make them any better than the man up the road. Ramble over lol. Damned whisky.
💪🧡
An American professor that has a youtube channel said that he's a "conservative" and conservatives think Russia is "bullying" Ukraine. He then went on to say that American "liberals" call what Russia is doing to Ukrainians is atrocities. He kind of laughed, as if liberals were exaggerating or being over-dramatic and "conservatives" are being realistic about Russia. He said it we need to think if a way to stop Russians from bullying Ukrainians.
I totally LOST IT!! I WAS SO INFURIATED!! HOW DARE HE!! THOSE ARE THE AMERICANS REPEATING KREMLIN TALKING POINTS DESGUISED AS A TEACHER... DON'T LISTEN!! RUSSIANS ARE MURDERING UKRAINIANS AS FAST AS THEY CAN!! AND RAPING THEM, TORTURING THEM, KIDNAPPING THEM, THEY'RE PROUD OF IT!! RUSSIANZ POST VIDEOS OF IT!! THE RUSSIANZ CASTRATE UKRAINIAN MEN!! OPEN SOURCE MEDIA!! IT'S POSTED BY RUSSIANZ!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😔
It is infuriating isn’t it!!!!!
This time MUST be the last time Russia can do this to any neighbouring country.
NEVER AGSIN 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
I take it you're talking about the senile maggot Mearsheimer. Disinformation for the benefit of the Nazi Muscovite imperialist state terrorists is sometimes so egregious, conscious and deliberate that it should constitute an indictable war crime in its own right.
Ever heard of Minsk. Or ethnic cleansing in donbas by Ukrainian nazis. Wake up.
You're so ignorant
We got a saying in War if you can hear it your still alive

John Sweeneys tommy Robinson documentary is my favorite of his works. Specially where john and the bbc were caught out lying 🎉😂😂😂
Since when has russia followed any rules?
I am a Swede who know what russia is about. I was not (sadly) surprised by the video, spoken or otherwise recorded testimony of their murderus torterus cruelty. However there i something about mr Sweeney that makes me go hmmm?
Me too. But why?
@@zie9171 Think it is bcs, despite his age, he is a fervent idiologe and those allways rubbed me the wrong way. Fervent ppl scare me, they invade Poland and murder millions in Cambodia.
John, any chance this documentary will be shown on the BBC or major channel in the UK?
It should be shown everywhere, worldwide
No they sacked him caught him lying
Utube let me state facts
@@Paul-cf1cuYee're nobbut a wee Scotch maggit!

Why is the BBC still broadcasting in Russia
That’s a good question???
I love this guy John Sweeney. He’s a proper journalist. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇬🇧
How about water boarding ? Not torture , right ?
To the last Ukrainian!!
Slava Ukraine!
Utube is stopping me saying you been caught lying
People only have to investigate
👏👏👏✌
The last time I saw "journalist" Sweeney he had painted his fingernails Ukrainian blue and yellow. Objective to be sure, lol
Should he wear colors of the terrorist state? He supports Ukraine, just as every sane person in the world does.

The deportation of 500,000 ethnic Ukrainian civilians who were citizens of the Second Polish Republic was a World War II War Crime and Genocide of Ukrainians who were sold as Slaves to Russian Soviet Slavery.They were expelled from their native homeland in Poland to Soviet Ukraine between September 1944 and April 1947 where they were used as slaves; many of them were sent to the labor camps in Siberia, GULAG, Kazakhstan where died from starvation,forced labor and tortures. Truman, President of the United States of America, did hereby proclaim the cessation of hostilities of World War II, effective twelve o'clock noon, December 31, 1946. It means the deportation of the Ukrainian civilian population which was never disclosed either by Western allies nor by the Soviet Ukraine Republic where the Ethnic Ukrainians were deported involuntarily and forcibly. In contrast, the Poles who lived in southern Kresy (now Western Ukraine) were given the option of resettlement in Siberia or Poland, and most chose Poland. According to the agreement between the Government of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and Polish Committee of National Liberation, evacuation of Ukrainian population from the territory of Poland and Polish citizens from the territory of the USSR signed September 9, 1944 which was forcibly deporting Ukrainian population who were citizens of the Second Polish Republic. Yalta (Crimea) Conference of the Allied Powers (4 -11 February 1945) - the meeting of leaders of the anti-Hitler coalition - the USSR, the US and the UK - during the Second World War, dedicated to the establishment of the post-war world order, when they divided land and slaves. The redistribution of boundaries Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin, having gone on mutual concessions, agreed on almost all counts. So the land where 500000 ethnic Ukrainians lived for centuries was given to Poland and the Ukrainians were expelled to the Soviet Slavery. Another secret agreement was signed during the conference, which was very important for the Soviet side, namely an agreement on the repatriation of military and civilian, that is displaced - persons released (captured) in the territories captured by the Allies. As the result of this agreement people were transferred to the Soviet side among them were the Ukrainian civilian population lived in centuries, never had Soviet citizenship. Stalin tried to create not just political borders but also to reinforce their ethnic boundaries, engaging in resettlement, eviction, as well as religious, liquidating the Greek-Catholic Church and transferring its faithful to Orthodoxy was part of the section according to the Molotov - Ribbentrop Pact. Stalin received the international legitimacy of the Western Allies in Yalta on those areas that were actually invaded in 1939. ua-cam.com/video/Ztn-3L_RONw/v-deo.htmlsi=QZNphpK-sros3vRk

Love the hat but isn't it getting a bit warm at this time of year?
I have been a big supporter of Trump and Carlson but part with both on Ukraine. Their position ignores reality on many levels.
And it doesn't make you question wether you should listen to them at all?
@@ginniemess I think it's more important to question what they say rather than dismiss everything out of hand. I am about facts and truths that matter.
OMFG - truthteller? Start with America on torture. This has to be some joke

This is about ruzzia's illegal invasion and occupation of a sovereign nation....these are ruzzian crimes....this is not a place for what aboutism....you want to discuss past history go where that is being debated....
@@jonnywishbone1342 the excuse of whataboutism is a lame, poor, weak way to avoid responsibility. Without accountability for past crimes future ones are guaranteed. Go home, get out of foreign countries, fix yourselves up, punish your criminal leaders. You'll be much happier and will stop inflicting your misery onto others.
Abu Graib was wrong but it came to light and people where actually sentenced for it. It was against the will of the government.
Bucha was much worse and what did the Putin regime do? They did not investigate it, they lied about it and tried to cover it up. They decorated the soldiers responsible. It was government policy.
You know what a whataboutism is? It is not a defence, it is a confession. The only thing you have is an accusation of someone else. Like someone else doing something somehow makes it OK what you do.
And even that you can not do convincingly. You never can point to sonmeone who is as bad as you.
All the best to Ukraine...but John Sweeney is an activist not a journalist.......nothing he says has any journalistic credibility. Usual stuff here about Trump for example has been levered in to this nonsense.
I'm sure you know all about credibility, when you choose an orange criminal clown as your leader
we are all award renouned journalist, and reporters, so why the hype? you guys are no better, AND you can not prove it!!!

If you want to know about the future of Ucraine, look at Lybia...or Syria or Afghanistan, all the countrys the west "liberated"
@@JamesLaserpimpWalsh we will see.
In fact I maybe w'ont see it because, if it happens, it will take at least 30 years, like southcorea but in that time the world could have changed completely, who knows.
But what's for sure the winner is the US mic and the US oil and gas industries..."tremendous opportunity's"
This administration is that incompetent that it managed to achieve that the Chinese refuse to meet on a high level😂
