Kharkiv residents: a life under constant Russian fire | DW News
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2024
- The city of Kharkiv is a constant target of Russia's aerial assault on Ukraine. Sitting close to the Russian border, it has come under repeated attacks in almost two years of war. DW Correspondent Max Zander travelled to the city and met residents who have chosen to remain there - living a life under fire.
For more on this, we talk to Maria Avdeeva. She is a Ukrainian security analyst who is originally from Kharkiv and joins us now from Sweden’s capital Stockholm.

hotels must be filled with tourists in these peaceful days.
Kharkiv is the best French tourist attraction. The hotels are full of them😂😂
Tourists from all over Europe stayed in this hotel
Its remarkable how this city has held out for 2 years despite being very close to the border
ikrmm,,
because they are neighboring a cultural nation.
@@kirilld6206
I'm pretty sure that Ukrainians being regularly subject to terrorist attacks by Imperialist Russia
don't care about what show the Bolshoi Ballet is performing this month.
what finging city....LOL
DW have started asking strange questions recently 😂. It is damn front line there 💁🏻
Agree but they dont ask why Urkanians shells Donetsk city....
@@fabb5 Well may be because they don't
ikr.,.
@@emrism4216yes it's only true when they show us on western media
russia has lost its sanity
I pray for peace
This is nothing... you should see what Israle is doing in Gaza....
You should see Mariupol, Bakhmut, Marianka, Volnovakha, etc.
Mariupol losses alone are over 25k and it's only ONE town more than a year ago
Honestly when it comes to Gaza I just have to condemn neighboring countries like Egypt and Lebanon who condemn Israels actions yet close their borders to the Palestinians essentially trapping them in the middle of this conflict.
@@sergeybebenin stop lying nato bot the total amount of civilians deaths is under 25k the us killed a milion civilian in iraq "colateral damage" if russia wanted to target civilians only zelensky would be left in ukraine claiming he is wining the war
@@torablackYes why shouldn't those arab countries help the Israel ethnic cleanse Gaza, right?
this is different
Remember that this conflict has the lowest amount of civilian casualties out of any conflict of this magnitude.
Maybe, in accordance to russian standards.
Not really
although Ukraine has been amazing at shielding civilians in fact this is the most intense fighting since China and the Soviet invaded Korea even though it is not as brutal as many of the more recent wars mainly in Africa where mainly civilians are killed
Had the west not supplied Ukraine, we can only imagine what the civilian casualties and deportations to siberia would have been of Russia captured all of ukraine
Had the west not pressed Ukraine in abandoning the peace treaty most likely civilian casualties and total casualties would've stayed under a 4 digit amount.
Compared to gaza this looks like nothing
Gaza has chosen a wrong neighbour it seems to me.
Compared to Mariupol Gaza looks like nothing. Well, not nothing, but the casualty rate is significantly higher for Mariupol.
@@polinageller3489according to Human Rights Watch, 8,000 people died in Mariupol.
In Gaza about 35,000 people are confirmed dead or buried under rubble (meaning certainly dead)
and the Israeli's are nowhere done slaughtering Palestinians.
So sorry😢
Imagine what those people would be experiencing if in Gaza. The Russians could flatten the place if they wanted, but they have chosen not to, unlike the fascists in tel Aviv.
Russia is unable to flatten Ukraine.
@@rocksmo3384 Ukraine got all kind of air defence system from west.
gaza don't. lol
@@rocksmo3384garbage.
Russian could quite easily flatten any city in Ukraine, but they are not. Unlike Israel in Gaza or anto in Ukraine or Kosovo.
@@user-tt6il2up4o Places like Bahmut and Popasna adn Mariupil were flattened. IF russian can destroy a city - they will. They don't have ammo and arty for all the cities in UA. .
As its a transport and network hub - The hotels house the mercenaries. Nothing on Baerbocks grandfather?
Russia troll alert
As if Russia didn't hire mercenaries (from China, Syria, Cuba, various African countries...)
Why target Kharkiv so often ?
Maybe the fact that its the 2nd largest City in Ukraine has something to do with it.
Meanwhile in Gaza.
We see now that compared to nato in Iraq and Israel in Gaza, Russia is treating Ukraine civilians very lightly.
DW please take care of the prigozhin bots in the comment
There is no progozhin more to be prigozhin bot. Anyway, You did not define who the is bot
i thought the Russian army was destroyed , ran out of missiles and busy scraping washing machines ?
😂
Who told you that?
You mean wagner.
The Russian army loots washing machines, because Pootie's soldiers need them.
Do you have a problem with that?
CHINA AND IRAN ARE SUPPLYING WEAPONS
Why dont they just evacuate the population of that city to somewhere else for safety?
Because Ukraine is a free country and they don't point guns at their own citizens telling them to leave their homes?
@@liesdamnlies3372 so if you had citizens you would rather leave them traumatized and bombarded than evacuate it?
@@chipsgamingchannel1015 That’s not what I said and you know it.
@@liesdamnlies3372 alright then, if you say that they are angels and dont force anyone to move, why do they when they see any man on the street force him into the army?
@@liesdamnlies3372 if its a free country
one simple requirement for all of it to stop. stop sending nato weapons to Ukraine
Hotels full of NATO troops, right? This is not journalism; you didn't talk to any of the people staying there waiting to be liberated.
No, Nato hasn't sent any troops. They's sent military aid to stop the Russians invading other countries.
Perhaps if you followed the news, you would know these things.
Stupidity!
@@16252 , they've sent intelligence.
sarah kelly looks freakin good uff at her expertise on these topics
Hotels full of military personnel!
Lol, russia running out of ammo again! Meanwhile here in reality kharkiv is being pummeled, still.
Considering they are now using NKorea missiles (and Iranian drones for over a year), the statement is true.
I mean, "Ukraine is running out of ammo" too
CHINA AND IRAN SUPPLYING WEAPONS
Still no report about Carlson-Putin interview, DW? Pathetic...
interview? you mean the video where Tucker blows Putin for an hour?
You are
Because there are many mercenaries in the hotels
No, the Russians just target civilians because they think they can hot something.
Kind of contradicts the narrative about wanting to 'liberate' the people of Ukraine, don't you think?
Why is Ukrainian troops bombarding civilians in Donesk?
Source?
Why did Putin invade Donetsk, which is not part of Russia?
Zen silence from the Russian trolls...
Please DW go do the same interview in Donesk and Belgorod. Then i can take you serious.
This is a big question to Russia. The Ukraine soldiers are in the Frontline why are they targeting civilians?
Civilian in hotel in Kharkiv, a front line city at the time of war🤔 very interesting
There are no soldiers in the hotel Wtf you
That hotel was full of generals
Emotional reporting that we don't see for Gaza!!! Here it seems like Ukraine matter than Palestine
I recommend D. W to learn a good lesson from Tucker Carlson
Agree 100% but they will not....the owners wont let them.
что хозяин скажет то и выпустят
@@fabb5
Who are the owners?.
What lesson do you mean? How to interview a person who managed to kill hundreds of thousands of people in Ukraine?
🤡🤡🤡
its always under fire because they keep fighting🤷♀
*defending themselves
defending themselves from *CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR OWN BAD CHOICES@@LagoDosSantos
@@gtaraya whom chooses to be invaded?
pretty much... they can only control what they choose, but not the consequence.
@@LagoDosSantos
Very decent war compared to DR Congo, Sudan and Gaza.
Because they’re close to Russia 😢
💔💔💔💔💔
Can you make one about Idlib?
Hotels with soldiers and mercenaries inside . But is impossible , Russia actually is running out of missiles since 2 years ago , DW says.
Umm because Ukraine is targeting belgorod mainly from there 🤷🏽♂️
Um, because russia targeted Kharkiv first.
Um, because Ukraine targeted Donetsk first. @@LagoDosSantos
@@bojanm986 um, because russia invaded Ukraine first
@@LagoDosSantos um, Russia invaded Ukraine on 24.02 2022. Ukraine bombed Donbass since 2014. Do the math.
@@bojanm986 um, try russia occupation since 2014, my math is just fine.
That old man. Rehearsed his lines well... sublime.
lkr,,
Because Soviet misiles can only reach 300 miles. And can only hit civilians..where's the Palestinians protesting at universitys ?

jharkiv citizens ..... run!
Kharkiv is a big city and it is very close to the border. Ballistic reaches Kharkiv very fast, so there is no time to escape. Russians strike this city from border russian city Belgorod.
U can clearly tell......Russians will make a big push on Kharkiv very soon. It's in a vulnerable position, and second City of Ukraine.
Dont you guys gave any other arguments than Putin wanting to show some success due to election? The same country where elections are not transparent, where opponents are imprisoned unjustly? Please bring better arguments!!!
Only Putin knows why kharkiv is being targeted.. And Russia can still keep on fighting for a long time its so clear that the blind can see
Only Putin knows... no, not really, the Russian army targets civilians because they don't succeed in their military objectives.
Харьков ещё не в РФ
lol remember when that Wagner leader was like, hey everyone, I'll be Ukraine's president after we take over... and now he's killed by Putin. Good times. lol
DW the most un-German media company
DW is not for thinking people. Just discovered clicking on NOT INTERESTED. 👋
Becouse Ukraine is Using Kharkov to shell Belograd
No, it isn't. They're using drones.
@@16252 I guess you are not informed .
Lol
That's where the undisciplined Ukrainian army hides, residential areas....
How come you don't cry for Ukraine like you do Palestine?
Foreign mercenaries nest
Slava 🇺🇦
Lithuanian Fascist
😢😢😢😢😢
Mitt Romney for president 🇺🇸
Zelensky needs to negotiate 😕
get off Ukrainian land and then they can negotiate
ikr,,
putin knows he can’t win, and is praying for negotiations.
Do you really think Putin is interested in negotiations? Do you really think he will respect agreements? Don't be so naive.
@@itsJPheretrue the time for negotiations will not happen until Ukraine recognizes that they are sacrificing themselves for US Geo political goals.
This is a big question to Russian terrorists. The Ukraine soldiers are in the Frontline why are they targeting civilians?
Khakhov coty is showing great resilience absorbing many attacks.
We heard news that many French mercenaries were killed in a hotel by Russiam attack .
Those hotels are military targets or civilian ?
Kharkiv is Russua and must return to Kharkiv. These hotels are hot spots of NATO elements.
The UKRAINIANS and The RUSSIANS should invite Jesse Lee Peterson over to moderate a "PEACE AGREEMENT" that both sides can live with.
And just maybe, Jesse Lee can SAVE some SOULS, while MENDING HEARTS!
She killed my dog
Ratheon , General dynamics , Grumman , Northrop , Rheinmetall AG , BAE Systems are in desagree with you.
Russia has the right to defend itself 💪
3:29 the S300 is an air defense missile. It can be used in ground to ground attacks but it is to valuable and inaccurate to be wasted in that way.
These s300 missiles he is point at are Ukrainian air defense missiles. Ideally DW would push back as “journalists”, but I guess the narrative is more important than the truth.
Geroi gorod, Kharkiv will forever be Ukraine, Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Project Ukraine is kaput.
Ukraine’s defences are crumbling, Kharkiv could be next.
Awful mentality to target civilians,
What do u think civilian doing in a hotel in a city in the front line 🤔
Where is the hotel in the elderly couples back yard?
@@suepetzer5996 is it the first time you heard about civilian casualties in a war? Well, we have many cases published by Julian Assange which sent him to prison! You may want to compare the civilian death in other wars to this war. Besides one can target deliberately, missiles can miss their target, anti-air missile and missile fragments can drop on civilian houses, and electronic gaming systems can cause a drop of drones and missiles on civilian infrastructure. There is no proof of deliberately targeting civilian. But for hotel we know they deliberately targeted it as Russian themselves told it.
Hotel was full of mercenaries
@@oliverwilliam6931 that is an age old excuse, like that hotel in Odesa that was empty, undergoing renovations. And the schools and play yards, and and and. Why would you believe after all the hotel hits that mercenaries would still be living the high life in hotels? And people's homes? We don't believe russia
🇺🇦👍 🇷🇺👎🏼
